How is it that ye have no faith?This was spoken to the disciples after he calmed the tempest. They were afraid for their very lives. Jesus obviously knew that their time had not come. Perhaps his sleep that day had an important purpose, and so he did not awake when the storm came. I imagine that he was receiving some divine instruction during his slumber...
Any sort of fear, though natural to fallen man shows lack of faith because it belies an attitude that someone or something other than God is in charge. A man of faith will give Him the reins, seek His direction and rely on His salvation. We all can do what the disciples did that day. When tempests threaten to destroy, awaken the master and turn it over to Him.
