Evening: Psalm 73; Mark 4:35-41
“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” ask Jesus’s seasoned fishermen friends during the storm on the lake. Meanwhile, Jesus - the landlubber - is asleep in the stern. They are sailors; the story is probably not about their literal fear of a particular storm but about their inner turmoil of heart and soul in the face of life’s big questions. The coronavirus is an outward ‘storm’ that sparks inward fears. Jesus speaks today, as he spoke to the fishermen, “Peace! Be still!” In today’s storm, we will need inner calm.
