Sleep Well

On that day, when evening came, He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”

Leaving the crowd, they took Him along with them in the boat, just as He was, and other boats were with Him.  And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up. 

Jesus Himself was at the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 

And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.”  And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.  And He said to them, “Why are you afraid?  How is it that you have no faith?” 

They became very much afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

Mark 4:35-41

One of the hallmarks of those who have great faith in God, is that they seldom lose sleep over anything.  They totally trust God and are confident that no matter how good or bad things seem that He is in charge and everything will be alright. 

I think that we can have this peace too if we will without reserve pray believing that God will give us the knowledge and ability to do those things which we can do and that He will take care of those things over which we have no control. 

Trust God and sleep well.
