One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, 'Let us go across to the other side of the lake.' So they put out, and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A windstorm swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger. They went to him and woke him up, shouting, 'Master, Master, we are perishing!' And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, 'Where is your faith?' They were afraid and amazed, and said to one another, 'Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?' Luke 8:22-25 (nrsv)

Terror:
Fishermen
asking a carpenter
about storms at sea.
Did the storm cease
or did they remember
how to sail?

Gracious God, may each of us remember how to do that which you have called and trained us to do. Amen.

Tranquillity:
Asking for help without first demanding the proper credentials and certificates.
