An Internet favorite, this painting is a slightly different perspective on Jesus helping Peter out of the water. He had sunk down in it because he took his eyes off Jesus and started looking at the waves. Yes, Jesus is standing on top of the water, reaching down into the water to pull him out. Who can't relate to that drowning feeling?
Interestingly enough, this is one of the few images that we can connect you to the actual artist who painted it. Please support Yongsung Kim by clicking here and purchasing his work if you are so moved! He has many other beautiful paintings in addition to the one shown here.
On the flip side of the image you'll find Moment Prayers that I've used a lot over the last few years. They are simple and sing a bit like nursery rhymes, but they work when I remember to use them.
A more traditional view of the same biblical scene. |
Bottom line, and this is important to anyone, but especially those of us with serious abandonment issues, He will never let us go through it alone. Even when I step out of the boat and start looking at the waves and sink under the waters, he smiles and reaches down through and pulls me back up. He never leaves me.
