creative visualization from Mark 4:
37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. [I think about whatever is going on in my life.]
38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. [I remember--whoops! God is right here with me--I'm just so focused on the storm, I forgot.]
The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” [All I need to do is call upon him..Apparently I don't even need to be very gracious about it...]
39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. [Immediately, He will come to my aid. Hush, be still. He controls the storm--I don't need to. The storm is calm, the wind dies, the rain stops..and it is completely calm.]
-------------------
If necessary I follow this up with a little bit of "Be Still (that means me!) and Know that I am GOD" (Psalm 46:10)... in fact i love ALL of Psalm 46.... and then Psalm 23.
Also, Handel's Water Music or other soothing classical music.
