TO ALL SAINTS

  WHEN THE WAVES GET TOO ROUGH.

It is not easy to be courageous when you face danger. When you find yourself in situations where things are beyond your control, like Paul cought in a storm at sea (Facts 27: 21), turn to God. After all, isn't faith for the times when you feel the most helpless and out of control?

Help, Lord, I'm lost at sea! When I started this journey of life, I thought I knew where I was headed, but then a few waves started to rock the boat, and I became frightened.

Next, the wind picked up, and my fear turned into confusion. Then the night fell, and my confusion turned into despair. And now I am lost and need You to help calm the waves in my life and stand beside me until the night turns into day.

Help me to find my bearings again, Lord. And when this storm is over, gift me with the wisdom to learn from this experience - to go back and make right what was wrong, not to lose hope at the first sign of trouble, and to hang on to You, my anchor, when life gets rough, Amen
