Now when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him, saying, "Lord save us! We are perishing. Matthew 8:23-25

Many storms come into our lives and rock our boat; some are violent tempests that seem like we will perish in them. We pray and nothing happens, we stand on the word, but the storm is still raging! Is Jesus asleep?
Some storms are meant to test us, others are attacks from our enemies, the powers of darkness. Usually, we can discern what type of storm has come into our lives, if it is a test we stand and believe but if we are being attacked we rebuke it in faith! The disciples panicked and were fearful for their lives and Jesus was there in their midst!
I have been through many storms. Some were tests, and I passed, and others I didn't. Many were attacks, and I fought, but one thing I learned is never to give up. Keep praying, keep standing, and don't lose heart. Jesus said He would never leave us!
Jesus said to His disciples, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. Matthew 8:20
