“Jesus answered, ‘You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.’” John 19:11

Dear Jesus, It seems to me that in my life I am being swept along as a rag-doll caught up in the rapids, beaten against the rocks, pressed down under the waves, helpless against it. But I can be sure of this, that you are at the helm and I am safe with you in the boat. You will not let me be thrown overboard. You will not let me be lost. You are on the throne. I am yours and you are mine. Amen.
