Falling

 

my namesake almost drowned

once, out on a turbulent sea

his doubt overwhelming his faith

fearing more the power of the sea than

trusting the invincibility of his Friend

like him, I falter

here, in this place, now, at this time

I fall

wanting to and trying not to

I fall

all that keeps me safe away from doom

His ever invincible hand

pulling me out from this restless sea

standing me firm within His power

"Our Refuge and Our Strength"

by Morgan Weistling

 

There are many paintings of Jesus saving Peter from the storm

but this is by far my favourite, for it shows Jesus in total control

with an unrelenting grip on the outstretched arm of His friend.
