Casting Off!

Nothing is missed when you're in My boat!

I place you at the front where you can see!

You're like a lookout, a watchtower,

that tells the rest of the crew what's to be!

Don't you see?

You won't miss it because I'll make sure you see it!

It's My pleasure to have it this way!

It's My pleasure to put you in front, not the back

to give you the best view, a high view, in fact.

Now, just stay near and pray.

Pray for the things you see coming your way.

Pray for the things that seem missing.

Yes, pray for the lack, full provision, in fact.

And pray for the crew everyday. 

And lean in closer to the Captain who's giving

the orders, the direction, the commands.

For it's not for you to say or give orders in this way.

You're just an echo of the things He says. So say it without delay. 

And give attention to your surroundings,

but never fear!

For fear is not your portion.

Courage is the bread you will eat, My dear.

Courage and strength is the fruit of deep devotion.

"Casting off!" You'll hear Me say. 

Now, don't be alarmed or frightened.

It's a beautiful new day with beautiful things along the way!

And YOU get to see them, feel them, live them 

and enjoy every bit with Me on the sea and ocean waves!
