You Know the Way, and the Outcome

"And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side." (Mark 4: 35)

Jesus told the disciples ahead of time that they were going to pass over.

A storm intervened, and the disciples got scared, but Jesus was sleeping soundly:

"And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?" (Mark 4: 38)

Jesus wants us to rest in His Word, trusting that He is going to lead us through whatever storm we may be facing:

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8: 37)

God is interested in bringing every problem under our feet:

"And [God] hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

"Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1: 22-23)

We are seated in Heavenly places with Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2: 6)

We are not called to do more, but to believe more about all that God has done for us:

"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

"And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power," (Ephesians 1: 17-19)

Jesus is the Way (John 14: 6). He lives in us, He leads us by His Spirit. Let us trust Him to take us through all the way:

"For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1: 5-6)

and

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2: 10)

He made you and the works that you are called to do -- walk confidently, knowing that He is leading you through it all!
