intended to pass them by. But when they saw him walking on the sea, they
thought it was a ghost and cried out; for they all saw him and were terrified.
But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be
afraid.” Then he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were

Mark 6:45-52
No one can predict with certainty how stormy the new
year will be. We do know, though, that everyone will face storms. But we
who have Jesus have our future securely moored to Him. Jesus, who did not fail
us in the past, will not fail us in the future.
If you are anchored to Jesus, you will find the strength to go on.
Jesus has the power to save us and protect us. He has the power to give us
eternal life.
Faith in Christ will keep us steady in the
stormy sea of change.
