Prayer
There
is a story about a sea Captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking
day-trippers to Islands.
On
one trip, the boat was full of young people.
They
laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out,
because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However
they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to
roll & pitch violently.
The
terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in
prayer.
But
he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to
my ship."
Here
is a lesson for us......
If
we cannot seek God in quiet moments of our lives; we are not likely to find him
when trouble strikes.
We
are more likely to panic.
But
if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most
certainly we will find him when the going gets rough.
