All in the Same Boat
Perhaps the lesson here is that it is OK to be afraid - God will love us despite our fears and tremblings; but fear can and must be overcome.  And our God goes to great pains to constantly remind of this.  Together we can break through fear and come to peace - together as a community. It is only together that we can really come to know who Jesus is - and by knowing Him, we come to understand who the Father is.  We are all, quite literally, in the same boat.  We share together the turbulent seas of the storm as well as the gentle ripple of the water against the side of the boat on a calm day.  We cannot walk upon the water alone; but together we can.
