Taking On Water
Jesus in your boat changes everything—even when the storm feels like too much.
Storms Come For Us All
The storms of life show no partiality. They arrive without warning and hit without mercy. Illness, job loss, a broken relationship, or grief can leave you feeling like you’re sinking fast. These trials don’t care about your status, your past faithfulness, or how many prayers you’ve already prayed.
You might be in a storm today, and your boat feels like it’s taking on more water than it can handle. The waves are high. The wind is loud. And fear is real.
Even the disciples—who had Jesus in their boat—panicked. They had seen miracles, heard His voice, and walked with Him. Still, when the storm hit, they feared for their lives. Why? Because when water starts rising, even strong believers can forget who calms the sea.
But here’s the truth: if Jesus is in your boat, you’re not going under. He may not calm the storm immediately, but He always calms His children. With one command—“Peace! Be still!”—He can silence the chaos both around you and inside you.
That’s the power of Jesus in your boat. The storm does not get the final word. He does.
So take heart. Keep your eyes on Him. Let your faith rise above the waves. You’re not alone, and you’re not defeated. You’ve already won, because Jesus never loses a battle.
Let Us Pray
Jesus, when the storms rise and fear creeps in, remind me You’re in the boat. Speak peace to my heart today. Amen.
