“Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

Why do I freak out, Lord, when I know Your tender presence is always with me? Why do I doubt when I know in my heart that when this storm is over, it is You who will have lead me to calmer waters?
Dispell, O Lord, from my mind and heart, all fear, anxiety, and worry. As a pilgrim, I desire to experience You right by my side, walking with me, even sailing with me in choppy seas.
