May, 2025

In Mark 4:35-41, Jesus falls asleep in a boat on the Sea of Galilee and a squall threatens to swamp the boat. In great fear, the Disciples wake Jesus and implore Him to help. Since they do not yet understand who Jesus is, they are probably looking for another pair of hands to help bail water to keep the boat from sinking. His response, calming the storm, was more than anything they could possibly have imagined.

During the month of May, let us:

  • Pray to acknowledge how many times we have prayed for help, or for something, with a preconceived solution in mind.

  • Pray for understanding of the majestic and truly awesome power of our Lord.

  • Pray simply and sincerely for Jesus’s help with a particular problem, or a particular situation.

  • Then, get out of the way, as Jesus provides His answer to our prayers.
