Reading – Matthew 8:23-27

Highlight Verse:

“Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Several years ago, I was at an outdoor Christian music festival. In the evening, a time of worship and ministry had begun on the main stage as a nasty looking thunderstorm headed our way. The thousands there prayed.

I am not exaggerating when I describe the storm splitting in two and blowing past to the north and south of us.

As I write this, a tropical storm is pounding Honduras where a dear friend of ours runs a ministry in San Pedro Sula. The people she ministers to often live on the edge of survival already and flooding and winds threaten very many in that country.

I believe God is more than capable of calming that storm as well.

While I know that God does not always calm the storms when we pray for the miraculous. But I know He listens, and I believe that our prayers make a difference, whether it be calming the storm or helping people weather it.

Would you pray with me for the people of Honduras and that region?
