Guest guest Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 There is a story of about a sea captain who in hisretirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Shetland Islands. On one trip, the boat was full of young people.They laughed at the old captain when they saw him saya prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm. However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew upand the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer. But he replied,"I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough Iattend to my ship." Here is a lesson for us...... If we cannot and will not seek God in quiet momentsof our lives, we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. Weare more likely to panic. But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough. A PRAYER A DAY KEEPS EVIL AWAY.
