Mark 4:35,37-40 NKJV,
"On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” ...A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”
There are days when our faith is shaken and all we've known and held onto seems to calapse around us. It's as if, we've somehow become color blind and all we see are the dark, gray circumstances threatening to capsize us, leaving us gasping for air in the sea of life. As we're tossed about by the waves of change, doubt and fear, we call out to God for help. Will we cry out with accusations or trust Him to help us?
I read a quote once that read, "When you can't hear God, read God!" How true! May we grip ever so tightly to His written Word when it seems we're deafened by the howling winds and crashing waves.

Standing on the Word:
"For the word of the LORD holds true, and everything he does is worthy of our trust. He loves whatever is just and good, and his unfailing love fills the earth. The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. He gave the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs. Let everyone in the world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him. For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command. The LORD shatters the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. But the LORD’S plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken." Psalm 33:4-11
