“Why are you afraid?” The words of Jesus right before he calmed the sea in Matthew. My Jesus, my Jesus, I stream tears of sadness, but they are also tears of joy because O God, my Lord, my Light, you work all things for the good of our souls. I trust in you. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
