when we finally pray...

Matthew 8:23-27 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” These disciples had seen so much from Jesus: healing diseases no one else could; casting out demons; speaking with power. When a storm came up they could not handle, the rightly called out to Jesus, but in a somewhat demanding tone. When he rebuked them, and then rebuked the storm, they were taken back by how he answered their prayer. Are we easily taken back when He answers us? When we test Him, and He proves His stuff, do we still find it hard to believe? What is it going to take for us to trust Him "up front", call on Him early, and say with love and peace: "That's my Jesus!"
