When the weather gets rough, are your eyes on the wind and rain, or on the Lord?

We can learn a great deal from what happened to the disciples when Jesus commanded them to set out on the Sea of Galilee, and a terrible storm arose. As the wind and waves assailed their boat, they were frightened by conditions so far beyond their control.

Such moments, and such responses, happen to us all. That storm was surely a lifechanging experience for the disciples, and ours can be for us, as well. In this message, Dr. Stanley shows us that while discouragement and even fear are natural reactions to stormy circumstances, we can move past those challenging emotions. We may feel helpless, but God is our steadfast Helper who intervenes powerfully in our circumstances in ways beyond what we imagine.

You can learn how to respond in faith to the adversities that come into your life. When your eyes are on your heavenly Father, you will see His faithfulness.
