Jonas , at the bottom of the ship, sleeps peacefully, illustrating a striking contrast between faith and anxiety. This passage reminds us of the importance of turning to
Lord in moments of crisis, while meditating on
Peace that only his presence can bring. May our confidence in God guide us through the storms of life.
