Why does God send storms into our lives?

Answered in 1 source

God sends storms to strengthen our faith and remind us of our dependence on Him.

Storms in our lives, both literal and metaphorical, serve God's purpose of refining and testing our faith. As illustrated in Mark 6, the disciples faced a tempest on the sea, which was not merely a natural occurrence but a divinely appointed moment to deepen their understanding of Jesus' power and care. These trials are instrumental in teaching us about ourselves, revealing weaknesses in our faith, and compelling us to rely on God rather than our efforts. In times of struggle, we learn that true rest comes not from our labor but from trusting in Christ, the one who calms our storms.
