Read Matthew 14:22-33
22 Then
Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side of
the lake, while he sent the people away. 23After sending the people
away, he went up a hill by himself to pray. When evening came, Jesus was there
alone; 24and by this time the boat was far out in the lake, tossed
about by the waves, because the wind was blowing against it.
25 Between
three and six o’clock in the morning Jesus came to the disciples, walking on
the water. 26When they saw him walking on the water, they were
terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and screamed with fear.
27 Jesus
spoke to them at once. “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don’t be afraid!”
28 Then
Peter spoke up. “Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water
to you.”
29 “Come!”
answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water
to Jesus. 30But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and
started to sink down in the water. “Save me, Lord!” he cried.
31 At
once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him and said, “How little faith you
have! Why did you doubt?”
32 They
both got into the boat, and the wind died down. 33Then the disciples
in the boat worshipped Jesus. “Truly you are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.
Think
"Courage, it is I, don't
be afraid!"
Sometimes the storm is so
overwhelming it is hard to hear Jesus' voice.
Pray
Listen to Jesus:
"Courage, it is I, don't
be afraid!"
