it became perfectly calm

I'm thinking of Isa26:3 today, but not any version other than the KJV. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee." In moments of panic and terror and need the staying on the Thee is easy, is in fact, too easy. But the panic and the terror and the need overwhelm the ability for the focus needed to feel to feel that perfect peace. That v is not for those times alone, but for those times of no feeling whatsoever. That lack of feeling, that apathy is easily confused for perfection or peace, but is in fact neither.

When you allow yourself the moment to stay on the Thee, and to feel not a calm before the storm, but like His walking on the raging a calm within the storm, that right there, why would you ever leave that? Because that staying on the Thee is so difficult. It is in fact the whole walk of faith that will take you that lifetime to master.
