Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. PSALM 16:1 (NKJV)

When your wonder pasting down around you, will keep your life from complete destruction. I was in the boat with the disciples, I knew the storm was coming, and I am with you. I even know the storms that are yet to come and I am preparing your faith. My miracles are waiting for your prayers - I'm waiting for your faith. Though your desperation can cause you to feel overwhelmed to the point of trying to control only what I can, faith is a continual surrender of your own control and a confident, quiet trust in Me. When the storm is relentless, and battles are endless, My love and power prevail. Storms will come to test your faith. Troubles will tempt you to give up and give in and you'll need to continually place your hope in Me. I allow the storms to test your faith, to strengthen it, to give you the opportunity to see My miracles. If you never had storms of life, you'd never see the miracle of their calming. Your storm is so much more than what it appears on the surface. The wind and the waves are what you're focused on, but I am in charge of them and use them to give you proof of My faithfulness. Even though your faith grows weary, God never does, and above all, His love never fails.Your troubles are not what God is focused on... it's your faith. He alous the storms of your life for purposes that go beyond what you can see at the moment. You will need to continually choose to have faith, to trust, to have hope in God's faithfulness.
