There was a man whose life was tossed around and he was asking God why do I feel like my life is such a storm and it feels like I'm drowning in the waves and my boat is sinking?   Again he was going through the day and in his life if felt like all the waves were just crashing and coming into his boat.  He had so much stress, anxiety, pain, heartache and so one night he  gets on his knees by his bedside and he's asking Jesus why is my life in a mess right now. Jesus I've been a Christian you know I've been a Christian, and you know that I've tried to do what was right even though sometimes I may have failed, but God I'm asking you why is my life tossed in the waves right now.  He went to sleep that night and this is what he dreamed; he dreamed that  a little sailboat was  in this big ocean and this little sailboat was going back and forth; back and forth, and It won't  stop and it kept lightning, and thundering, and the sailboat was shaking. 
  While he was on that sailboat he look to the right and he saw a lighthouse, and every time that lighthouse went around and around he could see the light shining in the mist of the ocean, and he could see as it was a hand guiding the sailboat that was on the waves.  Every time the light will go around and around he could see a hand in that light guiding the sailboat.  That night the man wakes up out of his sleep and he hears a voice from heaven saying you may not see my hand right now in the waves or in the ocean you may not see what I'm doing right now, and you may question why I bring you out into the very waves, and you may fear but if you will look closely you will see my hand has never left you.  You will see that my hand has always been guiding you; you will see that I work where you don't see me and sometimes in life you're not going to see me because I'm working behind where you can't  see me, so if you would just trust my hand and Trust what I'm doing and know that things are going to work out for the good; trust me because I have it all in control for my name is Jesus and you are my child.  Lean not unto your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Jesus for He shall direct the paths that you may know where to go.
