the storms of life

This is one of my favorite pasages in the Bible about Jesus calming the storm. here it goes:

 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came upon the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. the disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so affriad?" Then he got up and rebuked the windsand the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, "What kind  of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him?"

  I knwo everyone had lifes storms to go through. The disciples had a litteral one. On Friday April 22nd a tornado came through ferguson. These days we have sirens to give us warning to take shelter. I saw some of the distruction on Easter Sunday and it was saddening. There were people out there cleaning up debree that had been scattered by the wind.
  However, there are some storms that come up suddenly that we are unaware of such as earth quakes ans tsunamis. There have been a few of those recently. It takes time to recover from them but Jesus is always telling us to not be affraid. He is building up our confidnece even when we fail to recognize it. Jesus doesn't want us to be scared but sometimes that happens and he loves us anyway.
 I feel there are so many storms that are started by our own words and actions. Sometimes the tongue can cause even more damage. If we say something, or do something that is inappropriate it can make us not trust and cause lots of hurts. Have you ever thought you trusted someone and then became betrayed because they said something hurtful or became unreliable? Then it feels like they should be the enemy. It si in those times we have to rely souly on Jesus. He never leaves our side and he has the power to calm the storm, even the winds and the waves obey him.
  He wants us to love each other so that when storms of nature come up or storms of just not watching what we say or do we can still be there to build each other up. ("Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, taht it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29)
 Sometiems I wonder if the tamming of the tongue may be more difficult then we realize. What storms are harder for you to get through the nature made storms or the ones by human words/actions? How far are you willing to go to help each other if we just have to call on Jesus? Will you let Jesus calm your storm?
