Luke 8:24 (ESV) They went & woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” & He awoke & rebuked the wind & the raging waves, & they ceased, & there was a calm. 2 Cor 4:17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong & courageous. Do not be frightened, & do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. — This courage is not based on us, but on our trust in God’s promises & His presence. For He promises to be with us wherever we may go! Love Mel
