Cries out for Faith introduction: I chose Mark 4:35 – 41 for this paper because I love what I think the meaning is; which is, when we go through hard times in live we sometimes call that a bad storm, we don’t think this storm will ever subside and we think we are going to drown and not make it out alive.

Even though we know Jesus is present when we go through hard times, sometimes we feel that he is not because he’s so camel. However, we are created to be just like Jesus, and he wants us to be calm just like him. He wants us to have faith in him, and he wants us to know he will calm the storm when he feels It’s right. And that is in his perfect timing
