Why Pray When It's Calm
This is a story of about a sea captain who in his retirement,
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 say a 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 up and 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 I attend to my ship."
Here is a lesson for us.......
........................................
If we cannot seek Jehovah God in quiet moments of
our lives;
we are not likely to find him when trouble
strikes. We are more likely to panic.
But if we have learned to seek him and trust him
in quiet moments,then most certainly we will find
him when the going gets rough.

prayer of your servant and to his request for
favor, O Jehovah my God, by listening to the
entreating cry and to the prayer with which your
servant is praying before you,"
