“A Windstorm Swept Down on the Lake

TheParishioner

March 28, 2020 Dear friends: I’ve always loved this story about Jesus and his disciples, especially when I’m in an anxious place. I’m comforted when I see that while Jesus was asleep, he was not unaware. The disciples doubted he was aware but they called out to him honestly, “A windstorm waking him. I’m especially comforted when I look at the fact that Jesus calmed the trouble before he asked the disciples about their faith. Faith and the action of God to swept down save them, do not seem to be cause and effect. on the lake, We are certainly living in a time when we might be wondering if God is aware and the boat was filling of what’s happening to all his people. In this unprecedented time, when every na- with water, and they were tion is touched by this COVID-19 virus, I am acutely aware of our common human- in danger. They went to ity both strengths and weaknesses.

The Kingdom is revealed whenever we make a phone woke up and rebuked the call to check on someone, or say a prayer, or share our fear about what’s ahead. We knit a prayer shawl, shepherd our bored and maybe anxious children and family, wind and the raging waves; cook a meal, wait patiently for a cure or a treatment, and the Kingdom is near. they ceased, and there was I can also see the Kingdom when I read the many encouraging comments you a calm.

And Thank You!” Carolyn’s simple expres- Luke 8:22-25 sion reminded me how important each person in the Body of Christ is, so precious and vital. Many years ago I read a simple little book about prayer called Help, Thanks, Wow: The three essential prayers*, written by Anne Lamott. I pulled it out earlier this week, and in it she says, “prayer is communication from one’s heart to God”. Fortunately we have God in the flesh in Jesus, so when we pray, our founda- tion for prayer is what we know and experience in Jesus. Our prayers are to the God who was in the boat with his disciples, who could be awakened in their fear and who calmed the wind and waves. Lamott also makes clear that prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. “Help” is the first great prayer. Short for Help us walk through this. Help us come through. The second great prayer is “Thanks”, a prayer of gratitude. It’s easy to give thanks when things are going well. But life is much bigger and more complicated, so we really need Thanks when things are not so wonderful. But Anne argues that “gratitude begins in our hearts and dovetails into behavior”. I think when I give thanks on the days I don’t even mean it, somehow it softens me for the deeper gratitude on the days when I do. Please turn to the following page.

The number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus steadily rises. Officials and public health experts continue to add additional directives and restrictions to flatten the curve indicating the spread of COVID-19. Doctors, nurses, and health care workers put their lives at risk as they care for patients with this deadly virus. Grocery store employees work tirelessly to replenish bare shelves. Large sec- tions of the economy shut down resulting in a spike in unemployment and wor- ries of a volatile market. Teachers pass along school lessons as parents and guardians shift into homeschooling their children. Children and adolescents cope with the loss of school, sports, concerts, plays, dances, and even simply hanging out with friends. People across the globe worry over whether they will catch this disease. In all of this we may wonder, where is Jesus?

Back on Friday, March 13th when we at All Saints and throughout the Diocese of Alabama realized that we would not be doing church and being the Church in the same way, we read the verses Mark 4:35-41. In it, Jesus and his disciples began to make a sea crossing, as day transitioned into night. During that journey, a great windstorm arose. There in the stern of the boat, Jesus slept.

You may know the outcome of this story. The disciples woke up Jesus. They questioned, “Do you not care that we are perishing?” As Jesus rubbed the sleep from his eyes, he rebuked the wind and the waves crying out, “Peace! Be still!” He then turned to his disciples, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” At this, the disciples wondered, “Who is this person? Even the wind and the waves obey him?”

I share this story because it has felt like we’ve been in the boat and Jesus has been asleep. In my prayers, I have been spiritually shouting at Jesus, “Do you not care that so many are perishing?” I wonder why Jesus won’t calm this storm. I question how long the waves will flood our boat and the wind will batter our sails. And as I question, a small but profound realization washes over me.

Jesus is riding the waves with me. He’s in the boat with you. God is here with us. In that ship a long time ago Jesus suffered peril with his disciples. He was there with them. And, his instruction might have been to the tumultuous deep, but it rings out as a helpful directive to us too. “Peace. Be still.”

This passage, which appeared in our daily lectionary right when the storm clouds of COVID-19 were just beginning to gather overhead, points us to look toward a day when the wind and the waves cease. It may be hard to now see that time when the waters are again still, but they will. Until the storms of this world pass though, Jesus calls us to experience God’s peace which passes understand- ing, to be still feeling the presence of the Spirit within us, and to know that Jesus is always in the boat with us.
