Jesus walked Upon the Water
He saved them they where in shock
Jesus walked Upon the Water
The wind howled.
The waves reared up,
dark shapes against the sky.
The boat swayed,
the men clung on,
their voices lost
in the storm.
Next a figure,
stepping lightly,
where no man should stand.
Water bowed beneath Him,
but did not take Him in.
They whispered, and cried out,
fear twisting in their throats.
Is this a ghost, or a dream,
Maybe it’s a trick of the night?
But He spoke,
steady as the rising sun.
“Do not be afraid.”
Trust me I will save you.
One stepped forward,
The men watched
with trembling limbs.
For a moment,
the water held.
Then fear took hold,
The sea reached up,
a desperate cry,
a hand outstretched.
He pulled them away
from the hungry tide.
The wind fell quiet,
the sea lay smooth,
and the night
stretched safe the water still.
Jesus walked on water Amen 🙏

Five—One Grounding
Five—Locked in a perpetual battle against my failing senses and reason, I fight to survive, to get through; I am afraid of... nothingandeverythingallatonce—...—my mouth is dry, and my muscles seize up... what can I see? I can see the birdcage and birds; I can see the watercolour my beautiful wife painted many years ago and unlocked her journey into art; I can see the empty mug of tea as it sits perilously on the arm of the sofa; how many is that now? Three down, two to go; I can also see a jackdaw on the roof of our neighbour's house across the road and a bookcase of potential—Five things you can see.

Very nice pray! :)
Amen, and yes, he did. This is a good way to tell that story.
