Jesus Stops the Storm

Jesus and His disciples got in a boat to cross a big lake. Jesus was SO tired. He lay down in the back of the boat and fell asleep.

Then—WHOOOOSH!—a terrible storm came! The wind howled! CRASH! Huge waves slammed into the boat! Water was splashing in everywhere!

The disciples were TERRIFIED! Some of them were fishermen who knew this lake well. They knew this was a really bad storm!

'We're gonna sink! We're gonna drown!'

But Jesus was still sleeping! In the middle of all that noise and chaos!

The disciples shook Him awake. 'TEACHER! Don't You CARE if we drown?!'

Jesus stood up in the rocking boat. He looked at the wind. He looked at the waves.

'QUIET!' Jesus commanded. 'BE STILL!'

Immediately—the wind stopped. The waves calmed down. Everything was perfectly peaceful. Just like that!

Jesus turned to His disciples. 'Why were you so afraid? Don't you have faith?'

The disciples looked at each other with HUGE eyes. They weren't scared of the storm anymore—they were amazed at JESUS!

'Who IS this?' they whispered. 'Even the wind and waves OBEY Him!'

Jesus has power over everything—even storms! When life feels scary and out of control, remember: Jesus can calm any storm.
