Matthew 14:22-33
Louis Tamburro 

Both skeptics and believers will face storms in life. You’re either in a storm, or you’ll be in a storm, but either way Jesus is willing to come close to you like he did with the disciples. Nothing proves this more than the incarnate life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. He was willing to come so close to us, that he was willing to die for our sins on the cross to save us from the eternal storm of hell. If Jesus was willing to come close enough to die for our sins on the cross, then he’s certainly willing to come close enough to help us with whatever storms we’ll face in our lives. He’ll sometimes allow us to go through the storms instead of around the storms, but if we cry out to him, focus and refocus our lives on him, we’ll make it through the storms.
