Jesus gives peace during storms

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham.

Q: What is the secret to standing strong when troubles come? - M.S.

A: People experience different kinds of storms in life.

There is a wonderful hymn that says, “Jesus gives us peace in the midst of the storm.” The Bible records the story of a violent storm that came upon Jesus and His disciples one night on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples were terrified — but Jesus was fast asleep. He was at peace because He knew God was in control. He was at peace also because He was the Ruler over the storm, and He knew it would stop at His command: “Peace, be still!” (Mark 4:39).

We must look to Jesus, the One who calms our fears and settles our hearts.
