Sometimes the waves don’t quiet down. The winds don’t ease. The chaos doesn’t settle. You pray for peace, and instead of changing your surroundings, God changes you.
We often want the storm to stop. We want clarity, calm, and control. But sometimes, God lets the storm rage while whispering peace into our hearts. Because the real miracle isn’t always in the wind dying down—it’s in the child finding rest while the wind still blows.
Think about that. It’s easy to trust when the seas are still and the sun is shining. But when everything feels like it’s crashing around you—when the job falls apart, the diagnosis hits, the prayers feel unanswered—that’s where faith becomes real. That’s where peace takes on a new meaning.
“Sometimes He calms the storm, sometimes He calms His child.” It’s not just a saying—it’s a reality that faith builds in us over time. We learn that peace isn’t the absence of trouble; it’s the presence of God in the middle of it.
Maybe today your world feels like a storm—messy, unpredictable, painful. Maybe you’re begging God to quiet the thunder. But what if He’s holding you instead? What if He’s teaching you to breathe, to trust, to stand, even when nothing around you has changed?
There’s a certain strength that grows only through the storm. A calm that doesn’t depend on circumstances but on confidence in His care. The same God who speaks “Peace, be still” to the sea can whisper the same to your heart.
So even if the winds don’t stop right away, even if the storm keeps spinning, take heart. You’re being held by the One who commands both the storm and the soul within it.
Sometimes He calms the storm.
Sometimes He calms His child.
Either way—peace comes.
