We read in Scripture about Jesus beckoning Peter to come out to meet him amidst the winds and waves (Matthew 14:29). “Come,” He said. Peter got down out of the boat and did fine for a short time, until overcome with fear and doubt. Then he began to sink. How characteristic of my life and perhaps yours. I do well when filled with courage and confidence and begin to sink when fearful and full of myself. How often do you forget that Jesus is with you? How often do you try to ‘go it alone’ rather than pray before any action of consequence? Remember that Jesus tells us to ‘Come’ and will be with us each step of the way.
