"Save us, Lord; we are perishing!" was the disciples' cry as their ship rolled and pitched on the stormy Sea of Galilee. Drenched by crashing waves, panicking from sudden fear and helplessness, they abandoned all the doctrine they had previously learned. At times, we are like these disciples. When the storms of life become more real than God's promises and doctrines, we lose the ability to think under pressure. But God knows every problem, every suffering, every adversity, every storm in our lives. By claiming His promises and reaching doctrinal conclusions, we learn not only to weather any storm but also to relax and enjoy the adventure. God is always in control.

This special collection of lessons covers the events of Matthew 8:18-27 and concludes with a look at Romans 8:28-32, a relevant passage for regaining mental stability in a crisis. Rather than being disturbed by fear or uncertainty, we anchor our confidence in the Lord and remember that God works all things together for His own glory.
