Call Jesus

You’re a faithful Christian but your life is troubled so much that people around you doubt your faith.
Cry no more! Wipe your tears and read this story – 
[One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake. So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
The disciples went and woke him, saying, Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.] Luke 8:22-25 NIV
Back to your story;
There is no doubt you’re sailing with Jesus in your life. But your progress is in danger because heavy and crippling problems have being hanging on your life despite your firm and strong beliefs.
Everyone goes through a wilderness experience but the intensity varies from one person to another. Yours could be one of those severe ones. So severe that people have started speculating about what you did or didn’t do, to attract the suffering you’re passing through. You may have been in that storm for so long you barely remember the pleasure of a calm life.
Is the “Jesus and disciples-sailing on the same boat-on stormy lake” situation replaying in your life?
Yes.
What’s the solution?
Call the master.
The truth is you’ve been calling him since your troubles began. Maybe a different approach is all you need.
Figure yourself out on the boat with other disciples on that historical day, imagine the panic written all-over your faces and the desperation draining your energy; now, run to Jesus and explain your situation (replace the drowning story with your story). IMPORTANT NOTE: Use optimistic words not pessimistic for your words tell on your faith level.
A call of desperation will not go unanswered, he is LORD and he cares.
