Details 

-This picture makes reference to all the precautions that could prevent us from moving forward in faith. This is expressed by the expression "We never know".
-The sky is blue, the sea turquoise. All is calm, except the rabbit who's experiencing an inner battle with bright colours : his signpost is bright yellow and his buoy red and white (mix of worry and naivety).
- The rabbit thinks he's fighting a lost battle. He can already see himself sinking. What faith !
-The attitude is shown in the fact he's not looking ahead of him but back. In the Gospel, as long as Peter is looking at Jesus, he's walking on water? The moment he looks at the wind, the waves, he sinks. 

Questions 

- What about me, in which circumstances to I adopt this "We never know" kind of attitude ?
- When do I feel like I'm fighting a lost battle ? Why ?
- Is it (and will it always be) fatal ?
