Scripture Reading: Matthew 14:28-30 (KJV)
"And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me."
Devotional:
Peter had the courage to step out of the boat, but his focus on the storm caused him to sink. When overwhelmed, he cried out to Jesus, who immediately reached out to save him. This demonstrates that even in our doubt and fear, Jesus responds to our cries for help.
Reflection:
Are you sometimes hesitant to call out to Jesus in the midst of your struggles? How does Peter's story encourage you to boldly reach out to Him?
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, give me the faith to step out of my comfort zone and seek You amidst the storms of life. When I falter, remind me to call out to You quickly. Restore my confidence in You, Lord. Amen.
Action:
Take a step of faith today in an area where you've felt hesitant. Trust that Jesus will be there to support you as soon as you call out to Him.
