My brain flipped to my unwanted
Default mode, anxiety.
The calamities of our country crowded
Out my peace.
I needed a visual to anchor me.
I needed one quickly.
And thankfully, God brought an image
To mind.
I pictured Jesus asleep in a boat while
A storm raged.
I pictured His disciples crying out for
Help and Jesus instantly stopping the
Storm.
I pictured myself in the same vessel being
Asked the question that Jesus asked His
Friends.
"Dorothy, why are you so afraid?"
Why indeed?
With my invincible Captain at the
Helm, why was I afraid?
And in the calmness one feels
After a storm has subsided I drifted
Back to sleep.
