22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Father, today we confess before you we want to get out of the boat. We want to walk on the water. Lord give us the Faith to step out. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. We believe God and it is credited to us as righteousness. Lord help us not to think as the world thinks, but to have the mind of Christ. Lord we believe you Word.
You have not given us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind. Thank you for asking again to step out all across this globe. For your glory alone Lord.
Have A Blessed Day, For this is the Day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Amen
