Does God care in our storms?

Sea of Galilee

One of my favorite stories of the Bible is found in Mark 4:35-40. When I use the word story we may be inclined to think of it as a fable or myth or we think of it as a child's story at bed time. But we find this story in all four gospels and it is shared as a true story. I have been to location and I have seen strong winds blowing over the the Sea of Galilee. Actually it is a large lake. Several of the men on the boat were professional fisherman and seasoned sailors. Read the account for yourself.
^{35 "}On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” ³⁶ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. ³⁷ And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. ³⁸ But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

³⁹ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰ But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”  ⁴¹ And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
Note they thought they were goners and at that moment they thought Jesus didn't care. In the Greek He quiets the storm with a whisper or small inside voice. Not only was the storm stopped but so was the waves.
In the middle of any crisis we face what is a similar thought? "God don't you care?" If you are like me you may be caught in the moment's struggle expending energy to survive and only later do you pray. Storms in our lives do happen. We may be caught up in a hard time that requires our attention. All of a sudden there storm makes sense. 
I have read war time accounts of the insanity of war. There are other accounts of the insanity of child abuse. People going through evil and loss. I think at times we will only recover when we are in the presence of God. I was asked what I thought about the litle baby whose hands were glued. It breaks my heart. Not all answers are to be found in this life.
The one thing we need to face our storms is faith in the One who loves us and made us. If it only takes a good man to stand up to evil, then it takes faith to go through it. God isn't just there in the easy times, but He is there in the worse times.
