Psalm 89:9, 11


''You rule over the stormy sea. When its waves rise up, You calm them down ... The heavens belong to You. The earth is Yours also. You made the world and everything that is in it.'' Psalm 89:9, 11 (NIRV)

''That day when evening came, He said to His disciples, 'Let us go over to the other side.' Leaving the crowd behind, they took Him along, just as He was, in the boat. There were also other boats with Him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion.

Mark 4:38 (NLT)

''Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.'' 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

''He (Jesus) was already in the boat, so they started out....'' Mark 4:36 (NLT)

- There is no storm I'll face alone.

- There is no storm that can take me under.
