**Panic**Prayer**

June 7, 2013


Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.  Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat.  But Jesus was sleeping.  The diciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

He replied, "you of little faith, why are you so afraid?"  Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

The men were amazed and asked, "what kind of man is this?  Even the winds and the waves obey him!"  Matthew 8:23-27 (NIV84)


I have prayed like this....many times and often times still do.  Lord do something-Please-it looks hopeless.  Even though this prayer looks like I am trusting Jesus-He says its little faith.  I am actually in panic mode-I should be trusting that Jesus is already working-even though he seems silent-He is always aware and in control.

**don't be discouraged....notice, Jesus was wanting his diciples to learn that they could trust him in all circumstances...but even when we cry out to our Father in panic because of unexpected or trying circumstances....He does not turn a deaf ear....He hears us when we cry out to him...thats the thing we need to know most...God is with us and He never leaves us nor forsakes us...we are in Christ and Christ is in us.
