Lord Jesus, when the winds rise and the waves feel stronger than my faith, I confess how quickly fear fills my heart. Like the disciples, I strain at the oars, forgetting that You see me even in the darkest night.

Forgive me for the hardness of my heart when I focus more on the storm than on Your presence. Teach me to recognize You when You come near, even when You arrive in unexpected ways. Speak Your peace into my life and remind me that You are Lord over every wind, every wave, and every fear within me.

Help me trust Your power, not just in miracles I understand, but in moments that stretch my faith. Strengthen me to rest in Your words, “It is I; do not be afraid.” I place my life, my worries, and my future into Your steady hands. Amen.
