Meditation Writeup

Storms, whether roaring with thunder or raging within our hearts, test our trust in God’s providence (Psalm 107:29). Find a quiet place and sit comfortably, closing your eyes. Picture yourself in a boat on the Sea of Galilee, waves crashing around you, yet Jesus is there, calm and steady. Feel His presence, radiating peace. Breathe deeply, inhaling God’s strength and exhaling fear. Reflect on Mark 4:39, where Jesus says, “Quiet! Be still!” to the storm. Let these words echo in your soul, calming your anxieties. Visualize a radiant light enveloping you, symbolizing God’s protective shield. Slowly pray the Hail Mary, asking Mary, Star of the Sea, to guide you through life’s tempests. Trust that God, who stilled the storm, holds you and your loved ones in His hands. Rest in His refuge, knowing no storm can overcome His love. Carry this peace forward, anchored in faith.
