When We Cry Out to God Amidst our Storms; and God is Silent (Mk 4:35-31) (12 OT)

Why does not God hear my prayer and command the storms of my life to be still?  The disciples in the boat had to awaken Jesus, is Jesus sleeping? Are there other reasons why he might not answer me and help end these troubled times we are in?  This homily shows the three reasons why we may not seem to think Jesus is present or that he cares about us. 1) Sometimes our storms are caused by our own doing; we need to be the answer to our prayer. 2) Sometimes we've fallen away from God giving evil a foothold. 3) Sometimes, like Job, we get no answer, but in faith we must trust He is doing something through our suffering that we may not yet understand.
