Surfing
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me (Psalm 42:7; NIV).
The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves (Jonah 2:3; NLT).
But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore – the LORD above is mightier than these (Psalm 93:4; NLT).
Kings will stand speechless in his presence (Isaiah 52:15; NLT).
Lord,
In contemplation,
I surf my breathing.
Again and again,
I try to catch a wave
And ride it towards you;
But a sea of problems
Swamps me,
Dragging me down
Into the depths.
Yet,
From time to time,
The surge lifts me up,
Sweeping me effortlessly
Into your presence,
And dropping me at your feet,
Where I am lost for words.
