He is Always Walking On the Waves When I am experiencing an inner storm, when the waves are high and I feel like I am sinking, is it then Lord that you call for trust my Lord? The high waves are created by me, even if often unconscious, yet they are real, and perhaps dangerous, for inner wounds are many, and slow to heal. On the waves, you walk towards me, seeking to get me to look at you, you are calm, steady, open-armed, so when I finally look, and sit still and see you riding the waves, I can center, be calm, or less anxious, and even get out of the boat and walk towards you. I have to learn this over and over again, and in that, I am learning patience with myself, and compassion, that hopefully will spread to others. For we all are sitting in our boat, over a vast ocean, that storms in a second, and you are always riding on the waves seeking to get us to look at you in trust.-Br.MD
Did you write this B Mark? It is quite beautifully stated. I have been feeling the similar emotion lately and have learned to say, "Jesus I trust in you".

Jesus seeks us out like a Good Shepherd (riding the waves). Apart from Him I am so prone to sink. It makes me think of parents encouraging their little one to take its first steps. The Father is always available, never far away. As I, like a child, move from hesitation to confidence, I must never forget Abba's abiding presence, for there will always be moments of stumbling, and sadly choices to turn away and pursue my independence. Pick me up, Abba, hold me to your cheek, reassure me with your Love and Mercy. Restore my supreme confidence in you.
