Walking on the sea
And when they saw Jesus walking on the
sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all
saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and
said to them, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."
Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they
were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.
For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart
was hardened.
Mark 6:49-52 NKJV |

open heart and mind laying down all burdens.

and respond to God with spontaneous praise and prayer.

come to the scripture with all your brokenness
and rest in God who holds all beingness

life
