You Didn't Sink Because of The Storm
Gary Zamora / July 1, 2026
When attention shifts from who He is to what surrounds us, we begin to sink. The issue is not a lack of faith, but where our faith and attention is being directed.
Moments from this message
“If things exist in our world and God is Lord over it all, then it all has to have a plan. And since God is good, there must be something good about it.”
“'Either He doesn't know what you're going through, or He doesn't care, or He is the Lord in it all.'”
“He's not only Lord over the storm. He is Lord of the storm.”
“The storm didn't cause Peter to sink. It wasn't what he was looking at; it was who he looked away from.”
“We so often want God to take us out of the very thing that is necessary for us to realize how present with us He is.”
“The storm itself was the very answer to the prayer Peter just prayed. He wanted a more engaged relationship with Jesus, and the water was where that happened.”
“Something has come against your doubt. Something has come against your hopelessness. God is trying to show you that you can walk on the water.”
“We don't have to be taken out of a situation to experience God. He is your peace. He is your success. He is God with you.”
“Sometimes He may not deliver you out of the storm until you celebrate Him in the storm.”
