Written by Lysa TerKeurst and Joel Muddamalle, contemporary authors. This is an excerpt from their book “30 Days With Jesus”

Simply the presence of Jesus and the voice of Jesus in the midst of the storm establishes peace. Where Jesus is present, peace is possible. This doesn’t mean there won’t be storms, trials, tribulations, and hardships. Certainly the children of Israel and Moses experienced these. The disciples in the New Testament experienced these. And we will, too. But we are never left alone He is with us. With Jesus, even when our circumstances don’t feel peaceful, we can choose to do things His way and, in doing so, have peace that passes all understanding. And in the end, if we will just remember to reflect on the many ways we’ve seen God move in our past and the peace available to us in the present, we can know we are being protected.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.[Philippians 4:7]
