Lord, sometimes we can't seem to place our trust in you. It seems as if we are drifing on white caps - a very bumpy ride might I add. And when the storms of trials, fears, and sufferings come aboard we have no where else to turn except to your loving gaze. Yet, where is this loving gaze? Sleeping - sound asleep. Oh Sweet Jesus, can't you see that a storm is approaching? I'm scared Lord and yet you sleep. Do you not care? The storm is here Lord. The waters are getting rough. Rain is pouring down upon me. I'm soaked. Why do you still sleep Lord? I'm trying my best you know. I'm trying my hardest to fight off this storm and stay afloat. Oh Lord, can't you come to my rescue? I can't give up. I just won't. I know you are there Lord and your grace is enough to save me. Come to my aid Lord Jesus. Take my hand and let us walk on the waters. I know I can Lord but only with your help. My Lord. My God. Ah, you have finally awaken Lord as the boat is half way into the water. What? What is that you say? Why am I afraid? Why do I not have faith in you? But Lord, I have been calling and you continued to sleep. I had to take charge. I had to take things into my own hands. The boat was sinking. I had to do something Lord. Patience? Oh Lord how can you except patience in such a time as this? Trust? But how Lord? I tried Lord. I called for you Lord. Yes, I saw you sleeping. I knew you were here. I did not doubt that. But Lord you were not doing anything. You were not helping. Say that again - I don't think I heard you right Lord. One more time Lord - I'm only human you know. Yes, yes, I know you know me through and through for you made me. A test? But Lord you know that I love you! To purify my love for you and have stronger faith? Lord, I can only do so much. My days are filled with so much to do. I cannot just drift on the waters all days. Silent? Why, you are asking me to be silent? But Lord I am only trying to understand here. Okay, okay. I'll be silent now..................................................................

Lord, are you gonna say something or not? Because if you aren't then, well, I've got a lot to tell you! Okay, okay, back to the silence.

"My dear one, I only speak in the silence. Learn my ways for they are not like yours. Are you to tell me that your busy life is more important than me? I am here all along, right by your side. I came to your aid just as the boat was about to tip. You must trust. Trust that I will provide the grace of perseverance at the moment when it is here -- not when it is approaching. You must learn to have patience in adversity, patience that the grace will come at the exact moment you need it, not anytime sooner or later. You think I am asleep? My grace keeps you going - yet you attribute your success to yourself! Remember, my love is better than life. Your lips must speak my praise for everything you have was given to you by me. Stop using the word 'I' and confidently approach my mercy. In confidence and love you will receive all that you need, nothing less and nothing more."
