Mark 4:37-38
A fierce windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped.But He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him up and said to Him,“ Teacher! Don’t You care that we’re going to die?”

Psalms 107:23-27
Others went to sea in ships, conducting trade on the vast waters.They saw the Lord’s works, His wonderful works in the deep.He spoke and raised a tempest that stirred up the waves of the sea.Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths, their courage melting away in anguish,they reeled and staggered like drunken men, and all their skill was useless.

got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.Then a high wind arose, and the sea began to churn.

Acts 27:14-38
But not long afterward, a fierce wind called the“ northeaster” rushed down from the island.Since the ship was caught and was unable to head into the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.After running under the shelter of a little island called Cauda, we were barely able to get control of the skiff.After hoisting it up, they used ropes and tackle and girded the ship. Then, fearing they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the drift-anchor, and in this way they were driven along.Because we were being severely battered by the storm, they began to jettison the cargo the next day.On the third day, they threw the ship’s gear overboard with their own hands.For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope that we would be saved was disappearing.Since many were going without food, Paul stood up among them and said,“ You men should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete and sustain this damage and loss.Now I urge you to take courage, because there will be no loss of any of your lives, but only of the ship.For this night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood by me,and said,‘ Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And, look! God has graciously given you all those who are sailing with you.’Therefore, take courage, men, because I believe God that it will be just the way it was told to me.However, we must run aground on a certain island.”When the fourteenth night came, we were drifting in the Adriatic Sea, and in the middle of the night the sailors thought they were approaching land.They took a sounding and found it to be 120 feet deep; when they had sailed a little farther and sounded again, they found it to be 90 feet deep.Then, fearing we might run aground in some rocky place, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight to come.Some sailors tried to escape from the ship; they had let down the skiff into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow.Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers,“ Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”Then the soldiers cut the ropes holding the skiff and let it drop away.When it was about daylight, Paul urged them all to take food, saying,“ Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and going without food, having eaten nothing.Therefore I urge you to take some food. For this has to do with your survival, since none of you will lose a hair from your head.”After he said these things and had taken some bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all of them, and when he broke it, he began to eat.They all became encouraged and took food themselves.In all there were 276 of us on the ship.When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the grain overboard into the sea.

Jonah 1:4-5
Then the Lord hurled a violent wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart.The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his god. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel and had stretched out and fallen into a deep sleep.

2 Corinthians 11 25-2 Corinthians 11 26
Three times I was beaten with rods by the Romans. Once I was stoned by my enemies. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a night and a day in the open sea.On frequent journeys, I faced dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the open country, dangers on the sea, and dangers among false brothers;
