Courage in the storm

Personal prayer cycle · Day 9 of 31 · Mark 4:35–41

Read Mark 4:35–41 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.

The disciples experience fear even with Jesus in the boat. Their cry becomes a prayer. Faith is not pretending that the storm feels harmless; it is turning toward Christ within it. We can ask for courage while also doing the practical things a difficult situation requires.

Bring it to prayer

What fear needs to become an honest prayer?

One act of faith

Speak to a trusted person about one concern.
