Jesus calms the storm
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!’
He replied, ‘You of little faith, why are you so afraid?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, ‘What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!’
- Matthew 8:23-27
I saw this technique on YouTube (created by Tai Bender - video here) and this passage seemed the right place to use it. I used blues and greens to represent the swirling waters of the storm, and in the centre kept a light patch - the eye in the centre of the storm where the calm presence is, in this case representing Jesus.
I added the text 'why are you so afraid?' to remind myself that Jesus can be a calm presence in my life any time I'm afraid - He is always there and has the power to control any situation.
I used watercolour pencils for the artwork and black and white pens for the text.
