Everything Needs Jesus

Strong faith can give us victory over fear. Although, Jesus rebuked the disciples for not having enough faith to deal with the storm, yet He calmed the storm. God is calling us into security and safety today and He wants us to acknowledge Him as our everything and the Lord that heals our diseases.
