You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Waves that would pull us under come in different forms to each of us. Economic instability, unemployment, debt, illness, and fear are some of the frequent types. But like Jesus showed with his example of retaining peace of mind in the little ship during the storm at sea that his disciples feared would sink them, we can learn to ride over those waves and not let them sink our perspective.
God is all-powerful good. This good is an ever-present help to sustain us, give us what we need and move us forward without hesitation.
Stay on your surfboard of truth today and glide over the waters of any trouble that presents itself with ease and grace.
To me the waves are a reminder of the constant flow of God’s love which nothing can stop. His Love is crashing around me whatever the circumstances. Many time I’ve gone to a solitary rocky point on the California coast when troubled and always felt reassured that God was in complete control.

“To the burdened and weary, Jesus saith: ‘Come unto me.’ O glorious hope! there remaineth a rest for the righteous, a rest in Christ, a peace in Love. The
thought of it stills complaint; the heaving surf of life’s troubled sea foams itself away, and underneath is a deep-settled calm.”

Thank you.
Driving my way up a hill after a storm, I noticed a swelled muddy stream on my right going turbulently down hill and realized it typifies the turbulent waters of unsettled human thinking: it always flows down and even down the lowest, ever sinking, non-supporting parts of the ocean. So it is giving in to the flow of the error mortal mind: it only brings one down.
I suppose this is why Mrs. Eddy stated in S&H, ‘we must go over the wave of error’ not through or under and ‘must look where we would walk’ and ‘walk in the direction towards’ which we look. G
