The storms of life, those times when we feel alone and helpless to battle our circumstances, toss our faith around don't they? They can cause us to experience escalating fear. Scriptures tell us the disciples experienced fear in the storms, too. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear." But straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid" (Matthew 14:26-27). What made fear arise in the disciples?
