And they were filled with awe and amazement.  They said to one another, "Who is this man, that even the winds and waves obey him?" I don't know what you are going through right now and maybe you are asking: "Where is God?"  He is there and although Jesus in his human form had a need for rest and sleep.  Jesus in his divinity didn't sleep.
