we are not adrift

We are not adrift.
there is a deeper current,
a holy stillness beneath the waves.
Even when anxiety roars and future fears try to breach the walls...
we are held—
not by our strength,
not by any certainty,
but by the
unshakable
watch care of God.
The One who notices the smallest sigh, and watches over your every breath.
As the ocean laps against the shore,
we are invited to breathe in the presence of the Spirit—
deeply...
slowly...
There's no struggle to be embraced.
We already are.
Jesus says...
I leave the gift of peace
with you
My peace
not the kind of fragile peace given by the world,
but My perfect peace
don't yield to fear
or be troubled
in your heart
John 14:27
So let the waves remind you:
God is not far off.
He is here,
inhabiting this very moment.
And in Him,
you are safe,
soothed,
and seen.
Take another deep breath...
Exhale...
You are in His hands.
He is watching over you.
Watch Care Lyrics
Father of every soul
we
are under Your watch care
nothing can shake us loose
from Your holy grip
no anxiety can have us
when we are held
securely in Your hands
no dark lurking future fear
can ransack
our present moment
while You inhabit it
even when storms are stirring up
towering clouds are stacking up
lightning sparking up
darkness emerging
and high tides surging
underneath it all
in You
we are still
and steady
within
breathing Your Spirit in
settling
settling
nerves unjangling
thoughts and fears untangling
respiration smoothing
entire soul
soothing
this our destination
our hearts
Your habitation

Thank you for Watch Care! I am copying the words in my journal and these will continue to unjangle my nerves and bring me into awareness of God inhabiting my heart. Thank you for offering us your beautiful gifts!
Hi Greg and Corinne!! I was so hoping you would be doing worship at the 50th anniversary celebration at Willow Creek!!! I was praying!!! You are so missed!! Praying for you!!!
Beautiful, calming, not as the world gives…I really enjoyed this…beautiful, beneficial, and delightful. Thank you Greg and Corrinne! ❤️
What a gift these words and images are. So thankful for all of you and the gifts you share.
I love to hear spoken word and this was beautifully written and well spoken. As a poetry writer, I really appreciate how rhyme can have the cadence that almost feels lyrical. It felt good to escape from my life circumstances and watch the ocean and hear those words spoken over me. Thank you!
