Even the wind and the sea obey him Proclaiming Leader: God laid the foundation of the earth. The morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy. People: The Lord’s steadfast love endures forever. Leader: God created boundaries for the water, and wrapped it in clouds and darkness. People: The Lord’s steadfast love endures forever. Leader: God has gathered in the lands from the east to the west and from the north to the south. People: The Lord’s steadfast love endures forever. Leader: When people cry out to God, the stormy waters become still. The people’s distress is removed as the sea is hushed. All: O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; The Lord’s steadfast love endures forever. Praying You, O Lord, are the one whom the waves obey. You speak the word, and the storms are calmed. We cry to you for help in our times of need. We turn to you and desire that your words calm the storms in our lives. We pray that your power and might extend your saving grace to us so that we may be redeemed from trouble. O Lord, we give thanks that you care about our lives and listen to us. May we always remember to praise you for your goodness and enduring love. Amen. Sending As we leave here today, remember that God’s love endures forever. Know that God helps us in times of trouble by saying, “Peace, be still.” Let us have faith and be awed as we wonder together, “Who is God, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” Go now, basking in God’s steadfast love and peace. —Mary Ann Weber, Goshen, Indiana Bible readings for today: Job 38:1-11; Psalm 107:1-3, 23-32; 2 Corinthians 6:1-13; Mark 4:35-41..
