Calming Raging Storms of Life …

Luke 8:24-25 ~ “The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."?

Abba Father good morning ~ Can you relate to times in life where fear was overwhelmingly present. Anxiety was consuming. Depression was restricting. Worries created feelings of hopelessness. Remember ~ Everyone has been there. More than likely; repeatedly throughout life. The ways of this world can be overwhelming to say the least. Putting unrealistic demands on our time, our energy, our resources. Everyday struggles of survival are like raging waters among the ways of this world. Unexpected trials are like a raging storm appearing in the horizon. Temptations swirling around our life are like winds of a tornado. Uncertainties of life attempting to submerge our life are like waves pounding forcefully against the rocks. Storms will continuously come and go. Duration and impact will determine the pounding against our life. How we take immediate cover will affect our life, family, friends, encounters with all of life. As the ways of this world swirls around our life with twists and turns. Unexpected damage will attempt to consume, overpower, and destroy. Our everyday life is just like the disciples caught in the storms of life. Are you prepared? Who will you trust? Where will you go? How will you respond? The living bible teaches to respond like bold, courageous, fearless disciples. Being prepared for every struggle, trial, temptation, uncertainty that will storm into everyday life. Reading this book of protection, holding on tightly, embracing it willingly within the storms of life. We might still get damaged, but duration and impact will be restricted. We might still have fears with feeling the hurt, pain, anxiety, depression. But penetrating damage will be relieved. Something happens deep within our heart, our mind, our soul. Our inner-core of thriving life engages God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit as we read the living bible, pray continuously, fellowship openly, attend church regularly. Damage, impact, duration of every storm is dissipated. There will always be another storm brewing within the horizon. But like disciples our faith will be strengthened as we intimately cry out “Master, Master.” Our Lord Christ Jesus will rebuke, subside, and calm raging storms of life. Protecting our life as we pray with unshakable faith believing, accepting, trusting, following. Faith believing the living bible, accepting it as truth, trusting every promise, and boldly, courageously, fearlessly following it as a way of life. Faith renewing, refreshing, redeeming, restoring damage throughout every storm of the ways of this world. Faith allowing “The Lord Our God” to be faithful within our everyday life. Feeling heavens anointed protection within every promise in the living bible from Geneses 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. Promises to never leave us, never forsake us, never abandon us. Faith knowing Christ Jesus endured the storm of all storms; being mocked, persecuted, condemned, crucified, sealed within the tomb. Faith believing the tomb was empty, resurrection occurred, everlasting life in heaven is an anointed fulfilled promise. Faith crying out in the storms of this life. Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but your will be done. As we cry out in the powerful storms of life Our Amazing Living God overshadows every moment of life. We will have hope to sustain, unconditional love to be comforted, compassionate forgiveness to be encouraged, promise of everlasting life in heaven to hold tightly. Remember ~ Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. We have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. We can live swallowed up among storms of the ways of this world. Or live crying out “Master, Master” and be intimately calmed within the raging waters of life’s brokenness. Engaging every promise within the living bible within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit; hope, unconditional love, compassionate forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven.?

Father ~ Thank you for calming raging storms repeatedly within my life. Strengthening my shuttering faith. Encouraging me moment by moment to engage uncertainties of life with an abundance of hope. Father ~ I am forever thankful, grateful, and cherish our intimate friendship we willingly engage and breathe together. Treasuring all the anointed protection within every storm. Every moment overflowing with calming hope, unconditional love, compassionate forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. Surviving raging waters of life’s brokenness intimately anointed, sustained, protected within you Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
