Lord Jesus, you are awakened by the cry of your disciples on a storm- tossed sea.
Hear also our cry for help.
He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. Colossians 1:17-19
