Verse 25, The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
The second step
As shown above, the disciples after following Christ humbly were unfortunately hit with the storm. But they acted wise in the midst of their weakness. Weakness because they did not have any strengthen to deal with the storm. And even in this present times of advancement, as a society we still haven’t manage to have all the tools needed to deal with storms that happens. Still tornadoes and hurricanes continue to destroy and displace lives and this occurrence has not ceased. How much more two thousand years ago will anyone have the solutions to deal with the storms of life. This is why, the disciples were so desperate as indicated in the verse above as they knew and felt suddenly, they will be drowning.
The second step involve in the remedy was what the disciples did, they went their way and woke Christ up. Meaning they sought Christ and His help because they realize individual and together their strengthen was nothing and was going to amount to nothing when it comes to this storm they were facing. They woke Christ up meaning brought the storm and their current situation to Christ. So Christ will know what they were going through and bring the required solution according. They pursued Christ strengthen and not their strengthen, they pursued Christ wisdom and knowledge in how to deal with storms and not their wisdom and knowledge which will not amount to anything.
The believer has to learn to bring their storm and their current situation to the Lord and not try to deal it with on their own. This will not end well when they decided to deal with it on their own as seen in the disciples life. The believer should realize it takes Christ help to be save from the storms as such he or she should direct all his or her worries and concerns to Christ for help and deliverance and restoration. This been the wise approach that has a guaranteed of any victory in the believers life.
As identify the “disciples went” meaning they made a conscious effort to seek Christ help, the believer when facing storms must take the conscious and intentional steps of prayers and supplication and present their daring situation to the Lord and bring it to His attention. So, Christ can bring about the required help.
Today as a child of the Lord and follow of Christ turn your problems to Christ and intentionally seek His healing hand through faith evident in the obedient effort of prayers and supplication and total dependance on Christ.
