Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”  He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him— Matthew 14:28-31

From the shadows
of night
You call
“Come.”
From the storms
of life
You call
“Come.”
From the center
of fear
You call
“Come.”
From the safety
of comfort
You call
“Come.”
When we are
overwhelmed
by darkness
Your hand saves.
When we are
engulfed
by terror
Your hand saves.
When we are
submerged
by doubt
Your hand saves.
When we are
buried
by indifference
Your hand saves.
May we hear
Your call
“Come.”
And climb out
of our boat.
