Stress comes from unexpected events that occur in everyday life. The strength of our faith will determine how we respond during life's storms. Each storm presents an opportunity to demonstrate or strengthen our faith in Christ, who masters the storm and has the authority to end a storm at any time. Observe how Jesus responded in Mark 4:37-41 and the faith exemplified during a massive storm.

Key Points:
- Slow down to connect with God internally (mind, heart & soul) during your storms.

- You may not be able to control the external storms in your life, but you have a chance to control your emotions internally.

- Don't let anything break your connection with God.

- The size of your boat will determine the size of your stress. When your faith is sure, you minimize the chances of worrying.

- You are swamped, not drowning. With words having significant power in creating faith or doubt, it's important how you talk to yourself when life looks troubling. Build yourself up with encouraging words.

Turnaround Takeaways:

1. Consistent & persistent conversations with God.

2. Petition God. Know that he is able when you approach him with your requests.

3. Give Thanks.
