The waves suddenly get larger, and you can hear the wind howling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, the waves become smaller and smaller. The wind becomes silent and starts to blow gently&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was really angry about something&#8230; My voice became louder as I complained to my co workers standing nearby. One of them said calmly, &#8220;Peace, be still.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I knew exactly why he said that. There was a storm brewing in my life, based on something so important&#8230;.&nbsp;&nbsp;that I can&#8217;t remember it now&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Peace be still.&#8221; He uttered these words as a prayer that Jesus would calm the storm in my life, just as He calmed the storm long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus had said to His disciples, &#8220;Let us cross to the other side.&#8221; Mark 4:35<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, their destination was never in doubt, or it shouldn&#8217;t have been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disciples became frightened in the midst of the storm. They awoke a sleeping Jesus and said &#8220;Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?&#8221; Mark 4:38<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes we forget that God is leading us to the other shore. We forget that He will never leave us or forsake us. (Deuteronomy 31:6)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tend to put our minds on the storms brewing, and before long we feel a storm brewing inside of us, and our soul becomes like the turbulent waves of the ocean. Waves of fear, anxiety and anger&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Master says &#8220;Peace be still.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May the peace of God which passes all understanding fill your soul today. You WILL get to the other shore&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peace Be Still \u201cThen He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, \u201cPeace, be still!\u201d And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.\u201d \u202d\u202dMark\u202c \u202d4:39\u202c \u202d Imagine you are watching the ocean waves crashing into the shore.
