Lord,
I want normal,
boring,
consistent days.

I do not want my boat
to be rocked too much.
I am no longer craving adventure
the way I once did.

I want predictability.
Stability.
Quiet faithfulness.

But it does not always happen that way.

Life interrupts.
Plans unravel.
The waters shift
without warning.

So I am learning
that consistency is not found
in circumstances,
but in reliance on Your Spirit.

When the days are calm,
keep me grounded.
When the waters are rough,
keep me trusting.

Teach me to rest
not in control,
but in You.
