And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.
Acts 27:29
Long night
storm-tossed
weary in the wind
drenched by the rain
sailors, soldiers, prisoners
dropped anchors
and prayed
Morning light
land sighted
breaking on a reef
tossed by the sea
sailors, soldiers, prisoners
jumped overboard
and swam
They prayed for the day
even though God said
they would all be saved
the storm still terrified
the waves still swept them
the night was still long
the threat was still real
And so in life
God does not calm
the waves or always
still the storm
Instead, he asks us
to believe His promise
ride out the storm
swim in the tossing surf
and trust Him to deliver
And He does.
God hears us pray for the day.
God leads us in the storm.
God crashes us into safety.
God saves us by our turmoil.
