The words "all we can do now is pray" become an attitude which regards prayer as a last resort when all else fails. Christ is prepared to help us at all times and not just in our hour of desperation. If we turn to Him in all the circumstances of our lives, He will show us how different his presence makes everything. When Peter accepted the Lord's invitation to come to him across the waters, he was taking a risk. It was a leap in the dark and a journey into the unknown. Likewise, we have been invited by Christ to leave our relative security and follow Him with conviction and courage through the storms and trials of this life.

Be well and stay safe.
