Imagine you are on a boat. A strong wind is blowing, and the sea is no longer calm. You see the storm coming, and the sea is very rough. The waves crash into the boat, and water enters it. What are your thoughts? What are you worrying about or afraid of right now in your life?

Take a paper boat and write down your worries and fears.
Now, put the paper boat in the water tub and think of how you can tackle these worries and fears.
Pray to God to remind you that He is always with you and you can trust your worries and fears in Him.

Immaġina li tinsab fuq dgħajsa u qed iqum ir-riħ u l-baħar m’għadux kalm. Qed tara maltempata ġejja u l-baħar huwa mċaqlaq ħafna. Il-mewġ qiegħed jaħbat sew mad-dgħajsa u l-baħar dieħel ġewwa d-dgħajsa. X’inhu għaddej minn moħħok? Minn xiex qed tinkwieta jew tibża’ bħalissa fil-ħajja tiegħek?

Ħu dgħajsa tal-karti u ikteb l-inkwiet u l-biżgħat tiegħek.
Issa niżżilha fil-banju tal-ilma u aħseb kif tista’ tgħin lilek innifsek teħles mill-inkwiet u l-biżgħat.
Itlob l’Alla jgħinek tiftakar li Hu dejjem miegħek u li inti tista’ tafda l-inkwiet u l-biżgħat tiegħek f’idejH.
