Jesus Calms the Storm — a 5-minute devotion for South Shore, IL families

Mark 4:35-41 · Peace that arrives before the storm ends

Wind tore at the boat and water poured in while Jesus slept on a cushion. The disciples woke him, terrified. He stood, said three words to the wind, and the lake went glassy still.

This works best in South Shore, IL as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Mark 4:35-41 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "peace that arrives before the storm ends"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“Quiet! Be still!”
Mark 4:39

Table question

What is making your heart feel stormy tonight?

30-second prayer

Jesus, you spoke and the water went still. Speak that same peace over this house tonight. Amen.

Make it stick: let a child read Mark 4:35-41 out loud tomorrow instead of you. Reading it to the family is worth ten times hearing it.

Tomorrow: Jesus heals a man nobody could help (Mark 5:1-20). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
