Why are you afraid?

And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” (Matthew 8:24-27 ESV)

I could really picture this scenario. The disciples were freakin out about the storm. But Jesus was asleep!  How could he be asleep when they're fixin to die?  The disciples are like dude you better wake him up cause we're gonna die!  Jesus calmly raises up and tells the winds to die down. 

Does the storm you're in have you scared for your life?  Do you feel like Jesus is asleep?  Don't forget, just like with the disciples, He is right there in the storm with you. 
All you have to do is reach over and wake Him up. He will calm the storm just in time.
