Sometimes the storms we're facing are getting us to look for Jesus. There's no other remedy to the awakened soul that wants to know what goes before him in death. The comfort of Jesus is made to turn hearts wholly unto God. "It Is I" reaches out to your undying soul first.
This might not always mean He'll take you out of it, be it temptation, or some other thing, but He will go with you through it. Day and Night He lives to ever make intercession for you. You're still in His loving heart. You have full assurance in trials and through temptation that He is there.
Newman Hall's treatment of this passage implies that Jesus came to them in the storm—He didn't wait for them to come to him. The words "It Is I" is a voice of calm authority over chaos comes from a divine source. For someone who's world is out of control, this reminder that the One who rules the wind and waves is present offers, genuine peace.
Whether your trial is illness, grief, financial collapse, relational devastation, or spiritual darkness this booklet is for you—every suffering person may see themselves in that boat.
