So, Peter took his eyes off Jesus and began to sink. His fears were adversaries of his faith. "Fear" and "Faith" do not mix. In fact, as my faith increases, my fears should decrease...and victory over fear = growth in the Lord!
Consider this - when a crisis confronts us, we have, at our disposal, the GREATEST defense - prayer. We have access to the throne room of God Himself. Anytime, anywhere - we don't need a priest, we don't need a building, we don't need a certain time - God is always accessible. And prayers don't have to be elaborate - Peter prayed: "Lord, save me." Short. To the point. Unimpressive. Simply acknowledging the power of the Lord.
Jesus immediately held out his hand.
Yes, storms can be daunting, and certainly not something we long for. But we know that nothing comes to us that does not first pass our heavenly Father - and He holds me firmly in his hand.
My God is bigger than any storm. ~Tammy~
