Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben
Holy Lord, we pray that when the storms of life arise, as they inevitably do, that we will look to You, the God who rules the seas and causes the winds to blow, who stills the tempest, and we ask that You would speak a word that would arrest the gusts that threaten to overtake us.
When we witness Your power, when we realize the extraordinary miracles You perform, may we not respond in fear, frightened that Your omnipotence will expose us to a future only You can control.
When we realize that all of life, our lives, are subject to Your authority, may we yield ourselves to Your divine will. In so doing, may we experience the calm You provide in our worries and the peace You offer in our conflict.
Reveal Your love to us, O Lord, in our unsettled lives that we would trust You to guide us through these turbulent times.
In Your sovereign name, we pray. Amen.
Matthew 14:23–26
