"Before Jesus quieted the storm, he quieted himself. This placed him in a position to bring peace to the storm. Through stillness, deliberately resting our souls in God’s grace, we may bring peace to our storms, hushing their turbulent impact on us, and blessing on blessing, perhaps even causing them to offer up surprise wisdom through their contrary winds."If we are not careful, we can become overwhelmed by the heavy weight of personal and social challenges. It is possible not just to survive but to thrive during trying times by practicing doable and dynamic daily rituals. This brief practical meditation will teach you how to be in a storm without letting the storm be in you--without compromising vital inner capacities that enable us to offer creative responses to the contrary winds of life.
