The Terrifying Question Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 29, 2012

The problem with the disciples is not that they didn’t have enough faith to trust Jesus in the storm. The problem is that their faith was not directed at the real Jesus.

Trusting God in the midst of fear means refusing to panic, anchoring ourselves in His Word, and passing courage to others through faith.

If fear had a face, many of us could sketch it from memory.
