Summary: Peter trusted Jesus enough to step out of the boat, but he lost his trust at the sight of the wind and the waves. Fear made him lose sight of Jesus and he began to sink. When he called on Jesus’ name and realized he could not save himself, Jesus reached out to him and saved him from the storm.

Choice: Will you make the same decision as Peter? Jesus will not let you fall.

Faith Challenge

Do you truly want to trust God with your life? Your faith challenge for the next 23 hours is this:

Review the verses discussed today. Pray about them, think about them, and search your heart. Pray that God opens your mind to what He has to say.

Read Psalms 145-146.

Take about five minutes to consider your salvation. Think about who you are trusting it to: yourself? God? Your closest confidant? The One who is strong enough to ensure its safety?

Pray to God for the strength to truly trust Him with everything: your worries, your family, your life, even your salvation. He is the only one who will not disappoint you.

Closing

Ask for prayer requests. Pray for a blessing on what was learned and for the courage to truly trust God with everything.
