Luke 8:22-25 ESV: [22] One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, [23] and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. [24] And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. [25] He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?” 

After multiple lessons on "hearing" (8:1-21) Luke gets to show Theophilus how well the disciples are applying this... Long awkward pause Oops!... Luke reveals for Theophilus that the disciples, like John and others before are in process. They, like us, need fuel for our faith; which is found in knowing Christ who is not only the Creator of all things, but also its Controller
