We all experience trials and suffering, and at times, life feels extremely hard to bear. Committing our lives to Christ doesn’t make us immune to the day-to-day struggles of life. Sometimes Jesus feels far away, and we need to be reminded that He is with us.
"One day as I listened to the Gospel story in Mark 4, I didn’t see myself as the disciples, terrified and wondering why Jesus was asleep in the boat amid the storm; I saw myself as the fishing boat carrying Jesus in the storm. We are all, in fact, God bearers, carrying Jesus within us as we journey through the storms of our lives." Marlena Graves
