It's time to move on. Jesus and the guys climb into a boat and start to cross the lake. But our Lord falls asleep right before this terrific storm catches the crew and starts to capsize the boat. The panicking fishermen wake up Jesus crying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
The Lord of Creation then commands the wind and the waves to quiet down and they do it. And in the stillness Jesus asks a revealing question: "Where is your faith?" (Luke 8:16-25)

Could these experienced fishermen have been trusting in their own ability to handle the storm? It seems like I often wake up to the need to pray when that is "all we can do". What if prayer became the first resort instead of the last resort?
Father, make us people of prayer. Help us to keep our faith in You.
