everyone always talks, Lord, about how you calm the raging seas. but this time, i'm asking that instead of just calming the seas and leaving me with my boat full of holes [only a temporary relief], i ask that you come walking upon the waves of the stormy water in my heart, and pull me out of the boat for good. i can only patch up the holes so much before the next storm comes along, bigger and worse than before. and my patchwork cannot compare to yours, O God. but i know that the longer i stay in this boat, the farther i am from you. and it's only a matter of time before i begin to drown. i ask for faith abounding so that i may walk upon the waves with you, and leave my troubles behind.
"when the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul."
-psalm 94:19 [esv]
