992B: Peace, Be Still
Is it possible to have peace in the midst of life's storms? As the disciples faced the storm, they became afraid. They thought that Jesus did not care about them. Do we feel that way also in the midst of trying circumstances? Jesus, as always, was trying to teach the disciples through the storm to rest in Him. He wants us to take a deep breath and say to our anxious souls: "Peace, be still". He may speak to the winds, and they may cease. He may speak to the waves, and in an instant they may become like a crystal sea. However, He may choose to say to our hearts, "Rest, my child, in Me."
