1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. My kids had a few nightmares when they were little. I would come to their rescue and calm their fears. Jesus calms our fears but in a much greater way. Today we hear one story of how he did it.
3. Scripture
   1. John 6:20
   2. Jesus (to the disciples):  I am the One. Don’t be afraid.
4. Devotional
   1. I remember when my kids were little, they would sometimes have nightmares in the middle of the night. I would hear them cry out and I would go to their room to see what was wrong. Sometimes they would see monsters in the shadows or they would just know that someone was peering in the window just waiting to come in and get them.
      1. My presence calmed them
      2. My voice let them know they were protected
      3. My assurance took away their fear
   2. Grandkids spend the night and do the same
      1. Same thing happens
      2. Simple explanation and presence takes away fear
   3. Disciples found themselves alone in a storm
      1. Real danger this time
      2. Not their imagination
      3. Expected to drown in the storm
   4. Jesus comes walking calmly to their side
      1. His presence calms their fears
      2. His voice gives assurance that all will be okay
      3. He lets them know He will protect them from the storm
   5. We face storms in life
      1. He will come and bring assurance to us the same way He did for His disciples
      2. We must listen above the wail of the storm
      3. We can trust Him to bring calm to the trouble waters in our lives
      4. We do not need to be afraid
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
