ANCHOR IN THE STORM

Skillet’s “Anchor” paints a vivid picture of faith in the midst of chaos. The song’s cry, “You are my anchor, so steady me now,” echoes the human experience of feeling adrift when life’s storms hit. Waves of fear, loss, or exhaustion can leave believers feeling powerless, yet God’s Word assures us that Christ remains unmoved even when everything around us shakes. Like the disciples caught in a storm on the Sea of Galilee, we too can call upon the One who speaks peace to the wind and waves.

Hebrews 6:19 calls this hope in Christ “an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” Anchors are not meant to remove us from the storm—they hold us steady through it. Faith does not promise calm seas; it promises an unshakable Savior who keeps His people grounded when emotions, circumstances, or culture try to sweep them away. Even in moments when strength runs out and prayers feel weak, His steadfast love secures believers to the bedrock of truth.

“Anchor” reminds Christians that surrender is strength. When we stop striving to control what only God can command, we find rest in His sovereignty. Each wave that threatens to pull us under becomes a reminder that we are held by nail‑pierced hands. In Christ, there is no drift—only direction, peace, and purpose anchored in the eternal faithfulness of God.

PRAYER
Lord Jesus, thank You for being my anchor in every storm. When fear rises or faith feels fragile, steady my heart in Your promises and keep me grounded in Your truth.

APPLICATION
When challenges come today, take a moment to whisper, “You are my anchor, Lord,” and rest in His unshakable presence.
