In Mark4:35 Jesus told the disciples, "Let us pass over unto the other side" this means He told them to route to sail through but in verse37, a storm arose against them and the waves beat into the ship. Now take note, these disciples were doing the will of Jesus, they obeyed His instruction, so we can clearly say they were in the will of God. My point is that being in the will of God doesn't mean the storm can't come. The only assurance is that God who is leading you will help you over come.
The storm is not a respecter of person. It can come to anyone, if it could interrupt Jesus' sleep. Who are you?
No one can be so careful to avoid facing the storm. What you can do is to prepare to overcome the storm.
The storm can come in the morning, afternoon or evening. The key word is always be prepared and believe in God to overcome.
The reality is that the storms of life has made some people dead spiritually while it even killed some. The maddening power of storms of affliction has led many to their grave because they didn't know how to handle the storm.
There is someone called the Master of the Storm, and that is Jesus Christ.
Jesus told the storm in Mark4:39 "Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
What storm is confronting you today? What is that thing making you weary?
Have you called on the Master of the Storm?
Jesus is waiting for you today, He wants you to quit struggling and He wants to help you calm the storms in your life. All you need to do is surrender to Him today, tell Him how weak you are without Him, tell Him you have no power on your own to conquer, tell Him you are sorry for trying on your own to confront the storms. Receive Him today as your Lord and Saviour and let Him fully come into your life and help you conquer every battle, every storm...
God is about to open a new chapter for you, it a new beginning for you, the storms are going to be silenced now! I see Jesus telling your storm "Peace, be still"
It is a brand new start, so get excited and be ready to share your testimony. God bless you.

I noticed some lines had words missing. That's why it's so important to have a proofreaders. Our minds will fill in those words. The other thing I might encourage you to consider is the number of times you used the word storm. You can avoid that by combining sentences and using synonyms. Ex: There are times when life's upheavals rain down on us.
I think your message is one we all need reminding of from time to time. One of my favorite quotes is Sometimes God calms the storm, other times God let's the storm rage while he calms his child. Nice job.
