Flying a Wave,
acrylic on paper
Lord, You feed the five-thousand,
You dismiss everyone
You send your men across the lake,
You go up the mountain alone to pray.
To Whom? Being who you are.
About what?
Generally or specific?
About what’s next?
For success?
Are your prayers ever not answered?
Then you look and see from your distance the storm on the lake
And the disciples straining at the oars
And what? You just let it be awhile.
Finally you respond.
Had they called out?
Either way, you came.
And how you came . . .
On the water . . . and as if to walk on past.
Wanting, it seems, to be discovered, recognized,
To be called out to.
And what do you say? “Take courage.”
But by then was it the storm they feared,
Or you, yourself?
You climbed into the boat and the storm was calmed.
Will you Lord, climb into mine?
Of course you have . . . do . . . and will.
And my storm is also calmed.

Take courage. Not have courage… but take it. I pondered this recently. It is ours for the taking. Not always easy, but He says to take it. Life would be so bleak at times if we didn’t have Him in the mix and others like yourself pointing to the strong tower when we feel faint.
