Backstory:
I saw a post on Pinterest that I really liked. It said, “When you feel like you are drowning in life, don’t worry-your lifeguard walks on water.” It made me think of a couple of Bible stories. I love the one when Jesus’ disciples saw Him walk on the water. Peter had faith to walk on the water too. But once he was on the water, he started to lose faith a little and started to sink. Jesus reached out His hand and saved Peter. 

The Master Lifeguard
We all have heavy burdens that seem to weigh us down,
The weight on our shoulders sometimes makes us frown.
When we feel like we can’t keep going
And it feels like our burdens are constantly growing.

If we feel like the weight of the world is cast upon us,
And we can’t do anything but make a big fuss.
If the weight feels so heavy that we feel like we are drowning
And we look up to heaven with frustration and shouting.

Just remember that our Master Lifeguard walks on water
And He can save us even when we might still falter.
He knows how to swim
And even when we feel weak, we can always count on Him.

So, on our hardest day
When we feel so burdened that it’s more than we can say.
Just reach out to Jesus in our darkness
And He will be there because that’s what He has promised.

Having the Savior as our Master Lifeguard
Should help our faith even when our life is so hard.
Just remember that only Jesus knows how to save our hearts
Because He suffered for us even the hardest and darkest parts.

The Takeaway: When our burdens and trials seem so heavy that we don’t know if we can keep going. When we feel like we just might be drowning in sorrow and despair. We just need to reach out to our Savior. As our Master Lifeguard, He will always be there to save us. We just need to have faith that He can do this.
