God uses them to shape our character, strengthen our faith, and direct our destiny. The same God who controls the sea is guiding your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer<br>Father, help us to trust You through every wave of life. Give us the strength during storms, wisdom in difficult seasons, and peace in every situation. In Jesus\u2019 name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Makaya&#8217;s Sch of Prophetic Ministry<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-author-name\">Rev.
