Never allow storms of life to defeat you

Do you recognize the Lord's presence with you, especially when you meet the storms of adversity, ill health, sorrow, and temptation?

"Master, do You not care that we are perishing?"
(Mark 4:38 AMP)

"When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.  Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”   (Mark 4:39-40 NLT)

Trust Completely in Jesus

Do you truly believe that Jesus is absolutely trustworthy?

"Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water."   (Hebrews 10:22 AMP)

"Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise."  (Hebrews 10:23 NLT)
