SOMETIMES
WHEN PRAYING
Sometimes when praying we need to go into the alone – to
the mountains –
anywhere – away from others – hoping they go to the other
side of the sea.
Sometimes when praying we need to hear others – worried –
working
the oars and the sails – trying to get somewhere – anywhere
but where
they are – in the wind – in the waves – miles and miles –
lost out to sea.
Sometimes when praying we need to walk towards them – to
help them -
on the sea – in the waters - in their terror – even if they
see us as a ghost.
Sometimes we need to help them hear the words of Jesus,
“Take courage.
It is I. Come to me. Walk towards me – on the waters. Don’t
be afraid.”
Sometimes they get out of their boat – and walk on the
waters – towards
Jesus. Then when frightened, hear them make Peter’s cry,
“Lord, save me.”
Sometimes when we pray – we hope - we/they/all - grab
Jesus’ outstretched hand – as he pulls us into a helping salvation and catch.
Sometimes when we pray – when this happens – we realize
we’re
weak – and little of faith – and truly Jesus is the Son of
God.
Sometimes when we pray – we recognize God – and we want all others to do the
same. We try to get others to touch him and the tassel of his cloak.
