Jesus Calms a Storm
I've been meditating on Mark 4:35-41 this week in preparation for a speaking engagement. The passage is about Jesus being woken from sleep on a boat by his disciples during the midst of a windstorm. It's an interesting story that seems to have a short and sweet application; if you trust God then you can experience peace throughout various "storms" in life.
Although that may indeed be the moral of the story, the more I think about it the more questions I raise for myself. Here are two of them. Do the requests I ask of our Father assume He is not paying attention, as if He were asleep? If so, what does it say about my faith?

It simply means that we often feel like the Lord isn't hearing, paying attention or even wants to take the trials and tribulations we're asking him to take or assist us. First we are human.
Second, It's a confusing maze scripturally of how and when the Lord is the sole provider/reason that get us through the storm and we need to entirely turn it over to Him or if it's time for us to step up with our God given talents to navigate through the remainder of the storm.
