Rescue

Even if I’m almost in the grave, you will bring me back. You will honor me more and more. You will comfort me once again. ~ Psalm 71: 20b-21 (NIRV)

But when Peter saw the strong wind, he became frightened. As he began to sink, he shouted, “Lord, rescue me!” ~ Matthew 14:30 (CEB)
Lord, it is my fault that I'm sinking. I do things that are dangerous. And then I only pay attention to how bad things look. I forget that you are there to rescue me. Thank you for reaching out to me and pulling me to safety. Comfort me with your presence and I will spend the rest of my life -- and even beyond -- honoring you. You deserve all honor and recognition. Amen.
