Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together
HOME
Thought for the week:
A storm on a lake, experienced fisherman in trouble…the disciples were following Jesus, doing what he asked. Life can throw tough stuff at us, even or especially when we are being very faithful. So, can we hope for clear guidance from above when we call for help? Well sometimes it is only when we slow down enough to catch up with ourselves and be still enough for God to get a word in edgeways. Keeping busy can be a way of distracting ourselves, to avoid the truth we don’t want to see.
It was in the quiet of the early morning that Peter heard Jesus calling him to get out of the boat and to walk to him on the water. Peter, is just like all of us, filled with a mixture of faith and doubt as we experience the push-pull factor of faith and fear.
The life of faith can be hard; we need to listen out for Jesus’ voice of encouragement
to come to him whatever trouble we are in. S.D.
Collect
Lord of heaven and earth,
as Jesus taught his disciples to be persistent in prayer,
give us patience and courage never to lose hope,
but always to bring our prayers before you;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
