Who do you call when there's no one to call; when the storm rages and everyone has fear? There is only one who has the power to calm the storm, stop the wind and hold back the rain. If you wait to ask for His help during a time of crisis, how do you know He hears you? If you fail to notice His intervention in your life during the good times, what makes you think He's listening now? Do you offer Him praise when things are good, or tell Him how thankful you are for your blessings? Maybe you're being tested to see if you really believe that He's in control. Do you have peace knowing that whatever happens is a part of His plan? I can assure you that He does hear you, but your fear is lack of faith. Fear of the Lord is healthy, fear of anything else is not! Having concern is prudent as long as it's a part of the wisdom He has given you. Don't allow fear to overtake you, it is not of the Lord.
He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?" Luke 8:25
