Peace

Jesus Calms the Storm

"Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!""
Mark 4:39

Reflection

Jesus slept in the boat while everyone shouted in fear. He spoke three words and the sea went flat. No storm is too big for Him.

Prayer

Jesus, calm the storm inside me. Amen!

Talk about it as a family
