Overcoming The Storms of Life

"Peter said to Him, 'Lord, if it is you, command me to come to You on the water'. And He said 'Come!' And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out 'Lord, save me!'. Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, 'You of little faith, why did you doubt?'.(Matthew 14:28-31)

We all have storms in our life. Some of us have the storm of epilepsy (combined with all other storms we face) and others do not face the storm of epilepsy. It does not matter if you are suffering from epilepsy, have someone you love with epilepsy, or you just simply have a storm in your life, Jesus Christ is still calling to you to step out in the midst of the storm and come to Him. The safest place the Apostle Peter could have been at that moment was in the presence of Jesus Christ.

There are storms we may be able to come up with ways to "fix" ourselves and then there are going to be those hurricanes in life that we can't fix. Perhaps it is a simple rainstorm you are going through or perhaps it is a hurricane blowing through your home. It matters not the severity of the storm of the magnitude of the destruction and heartache, Jesus Christ still reaches through the storm to save you and to be right beside you.

One of the most heart warming story I heard today was the story of one of the rescued Chile miners who was quoted as saying "there were actually 34 of us down there and not 33 because God never left us". If God would not leave them while they were thousands of miles underground in a trapped mine shaft then I can promise you the storm you are going through is something Jesus is right beside you in the midst.

Perhaps the most damage we do in our life is to try to "fix" the storms of life with no help. The two greatest mistakes we could do are:

1.) think and be convinced there is something you can do to fix every storm you face in your life

2.) Attempt to "fix" the storm alone or endure the storm alone

There is no greater joy than to reach through the storm of life that you are facing, (whether it be epilepsy, cancer, AIDS, diabetes, financial problems, marital problems, or whatever it may be), and grab the hand of Jesus Christ and allow Him to walk with you through the storm.
