Sometimes we encounter great storms in our lives: running late, missing the bus, being fired, death of a spouse or parent or child. Perhaps we get so caught-up in that storm that we see nothing else. Even in that, as today's Gospel reminds us, Jesus comes to us. He comes across that angry stormy sea as if it were not there just to be near us. Though it may be impossible to allow him into our hearts for everything that is going on, he is with us through the midst until we reach the stability of shore, and can walk with him side by side.
May we not despair nor become despondent, but rather say within the recesses of our heart, "Jesus, I trust in you."
