In the Bible, there is a story about Jesus and His disciples being in a boat on a lake when a fierce storm suddenly arrives, and their boat is in danger of sinking. Although Jesus was asleep, the disciples went to Him and woke Him. "Save us, Lord!" they said. "We are about to die!" "Why are you so frightened?" Jesus asked. "What little faith you have!" Then He got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great calm. (Matthew 8:23-26) I wonder what would have happened if the disciples had not awakened Jesus during the storm. I don't believe the boat would have sunk since Jesus was on board; however, no one knows for sure. Yet, for the disciples to witness this amazing miracle, it surely must have increased their faith. When we are faced with life's storms, we should try to emulate the disciples and call upon the Lord for His help to calm the waters. God does not want us to be a frightened people and He has provided us with a means of support by calling upon Him during our times of need. God's word tells us that we are not to be frightened because He will give us strength.
