       No matter what we face in life, whatever trouble or worry comes to us, whether real or even hypothetical, we can cast it on God, and he will give us his peace. We can be like Jesus, of whom it was said he slept through the storm. In fact, let’s look at that passage for observation. Turn to Mark 4:37: “And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he [Jesus] was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they [the disciples] woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith” (37-40, ESV). Take this event from our Lord’s life as an illustration for your own. Whatever problem you are facing is the storm, but you can be like Jesus and be asleep inside the boat, trusting in God. And, you can cast your concern on God and let him rebuke your problem.
