We cannot avoid the storms of life, and when they hit us our faith and trust can be challenged. But, it's important that we see Jesus ‘walking over’ the very nature of the storms in our lives, and recognise that he is the master of our storms! In storms we can often ‘hide’ or resist them, but God calls us to step into the storm by faith, following Peter's example. Jesus said in John 16:33 ‘In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’

We are called to live by faith and not by sight, but what characteristics do we need to help this? Courage, obedience and trust are required. Jesus says we only need faith as small as a mustard seed to move a mountain, so remaining faith filled even in the storms of life is critical.

Jesus understood the need for his first disciples to wait and be filled, and to keep being filled, with the Holy Spirit, before they could continue what he started. What has changed since then - nothing!

Happiness is lovely – and we love it, but it is based on our circumstances, which means it can be volatile and fleeting. The world tells us we deserve happiness – we are worth it, but the cost of chasing happiness can be very expensive – and sometimes even destructive! So Are we destined to a life of unhappiness when circumstances are not going well? God tells us we need to renew our minds, have our minds transformed, that will enable us to think differently about happiness – and instead pursue joy!

The long-lasting, deep-rooted peace Jesus offers his followers is very different from the temporary, transient peace offered by the world, but how can we gain and maintain God’s peace in our lives amidst the many trials and challenges we inevitably face?
