A prayer keeps the devil away

Good Day Brothers and Sisters,

There is a story of about a sea captain who in his retirement skippered a boat
taking day-trippers to Shetland Islands. On one trip, the boat was full of young
people.

They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer
before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.

However they weren’t long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up
and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came
to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.

But he replied,
“I say my prayers when it’s calm. When it’s rough I
attend to my ship.”

Here is a lesson for us……

If we cannot and will not seek God in quiet moments
of our lives, we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes.
We are more likely to panic. But if we have learnt to seek him
and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him
when the going gets rough.

A PRAYER A DAY KEEPS EVIL AWAY… ^_^
