As Jesus retreated to the hills for prayer, His disciples went to cross the lake in their boat. Despite His solitude, Jesus was not oblivious to His friends' plight. He was acutely aware of their struggle against the wind and exhaustion from rowing, demonstrating the power of prayer in maintaining connection and awareness.
If genuine prayer sharpens our awareness of other people's needs. If our prayer opens us up to God, it leaves us more open to others struggling with life's stresses and storms.
As Jesus is invited into the boat with his disciples, the wind drops, and they find themselves in a calmer space at their destination. This is a powerful reminder that we, too, can ask for the Lord's calming presence during the many stresses and storms that threaten to overwhelm us. His grace enables us to share our trust in His saving presence with others.
