WEEK 5 DAY 1

Recognizing Jesus in Our Storms

Devotional
Life often brings unexpected storms that can shake our faith and leave us feeling lost at sea. In those moments, we might fail to recognize Jesus, just as the disciples didn't when they saw Him walking on water. Sometimes, we're so focused on the waves crashing around us that we miss His presence right there beside us. Yet, even in our most turbulent moments, Jesus knows exactly where to find us and how to reach us.

Bible Verse
"Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." When Peter heard him say "Come," he got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. - Matthew 14:27,29

Reflection Question
What storms in your life might be preventing you from recognizing Jesus's presence?

Quote
The disciples didn't recognize Jesus when the seas were raging, but they saw him for who he was when it died down.

Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to see You in the midst of my storms. Help me recognize Your presence even when the waves are high. Thank You for always knowing where to find me. Amen.
