Enter into the story...encounter Jesus. After this time of prayer, you may wish to take a few moments to reflect on: What are you asking Jesus for today?

Through gentle, contemplative reflection, you’ll be guided to picture the scene — standing by the lake, stepping into the boat with Jesus and His disciples, and experiencing the moment when He speaks peace over the wind and the waves. As you listen, allow Scripture to come alive in your imagination. Why not explore this Scripture passage more by using the journal prompts below?
