Faith is trust in Jesus, and you should be careful not to hear this passage outside of faith. Outside of faith, the eyes are the ruler. The eyes say, I see everything is good and fine in my life, therefore God loves me, or, I see terrible storms and problems in my life, therefore there is no God, or He doesn’t care for me. If you look at Jesus calming the storm outside of faith, you would think it means that Jesus will make your life easy. Maybe you have heard misguided teachers say such things, that Jesus is here to calm all the storms in your life. They might act like faith is some sort of substance, that you can have more or less of and if you have a certain amount Jesus will make life easier for you.
