"Powerful, prayerful poetry covering topics that are at once universal but also timely in their particularity" Christie Purifoy, author of Placemaker
Remind us, Jesus, that You lay sleeping in the boat, in the middle of the storm at sea. You are neither surprised nor distressed by the mounting chaos. You are not a God who panics.
