STRENGTHENING FAITH AMID STORMS
Do we encounter God in the midst of the trials and storms of our lives? The Prophet Elijah in the First Reading is terrified as he flees for his life and desperately seeks God’s presence. The disciples in the Gospel are gripped by the fear of a storm, and Peter while walking on the waters sinks fast as fear overwhelms him. In both instances, they experience the presence of the Divine who comes to them as refuge and deliverer. God comes to us in the middle of our storms of sin, suffering, brokenness, depression and darkness. Some storms of life are part of God’s sanctification plan for us, compelling us to trust Him. Let us, therefore, learn to listen to the invitation of God and depend on Him who always extends a loving hand towards us, especially during the storms in our lives.
