7 Prayers That Work

  Lord, save me! I'm sinking. I'm not going to make it. I can't go on . I'm drowning right in front of you. I see your hand outstretched,  but I can't reach it. You said, "Come." And I came. I defied the waters below and the pure impossibility that I could join you in your mission-- that I had the faith-- but I don't. The winds and waves are too great for me. I know they're not too great for you, but today, that doesn't seem to matter. I can't go on. I can't see how anything will change. I don't feel you. Catch me, or I will perish. And lead me again into following you, even though my faith is small. I know you are the Son of God, but you feel so far from me and my desperate world. Amen. "Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid."--Jesus ( Matthew 14:27-33 )
