A reflection on faith, failure, and being rescued by Jesus

Lord, I know.
I’m supposed to walk on the water.
I’m supposed to keep my eyes on You.

But Jesus, I’m drowning.

I should know how to choose
the right action and the right response
to my circumstances.
Instead, I’m failing.
I’m letting the waves swallow me.
Yet, Lord, I kneel down,
and I feel Your hands lift me up.
You save me.
And I know in my heart—
You will
again and again,
until I arrive safely by Your side,
smiling with happy tears in my eyes.
