Grant Us Peace
 
“Will all those in the room with troubled souls please raise their hands?”  Sadly, I believe the majority of hands would go up.  I know so many people who struggle with guilt from the past, fear of the future, mind-numbing and hopeless feelings of inferiority, trouble over dearth, unhappiness over wealth, dread of what tomorrow may bring. 
 
Well, it seems to me that the quote from Mark below has nothing to do with weather or sea conditions, but about the storms that all too often rage inside our souls and hearts. 
 
My point:  God heals.  He calms the raging inner storms.  He brings peace.  Enjoy.  Surrender.  Let go.  God bless. — jri
 
“He woke up and rebuked the wind, and
said to the sea, ‘Peace!  Be still!’  Then
the wind ceased, and there was a dead
calm.  He said to them, ‘Why are you so
afraid?  Have you still no faith.’”
