Peace in the Middle of the Storm
Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani - 23 August 2025
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
Life’s storms come in many forms, such as unexpected bills, health challenges, strained relationships, or sudden loss. Sometimes they hit without warning, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.
In Mark 4, when the disciples were caught in a fierce storm, they panicked. But Jesus was in the boat, asleep. That wasn’t because He didn’t care, it was because He knew the storm was no match for His power.
The truth is, peace is not the absence of problems; it is the presence of Jesus. You can be surrounded by chaos and still have calm in your heart if your eyes are fixed on Him. I have found that the more I remind myself of God’s promises, the less space I have for fear.
If the waves feel high right now, take courage. Jesus is in your boat. The storm will not sink you because He has the final word.
Prayer of the Day:
Lord Jesus, thank You that You are with me in every storm. Help me to trust Your presence and Your power more than the wind and the waves around me. Fill my heart with Your peace today. Amen.
