“And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt” (Matthew 14:31).
We are familiar with the account of Peter’s attempt to walk on the water to go to Jesus. He got out of the boat with confidence, but fear and doubt hindered him. He took his eyes off Jesus and down he went. However, he did have enough composure to cry out to God for help.
When we focus more on our problems instead of exercising faith, doubt and fear win. In desperation we cry out to God. In love and mercy, God is there to reach down and pick us up. The One who can calm the winds and waves of a tumultuous sea sometimes has to calm the storm in us. We must still ourselves in His presence and listen as He whispers, “peace be still.”
Go to God in faith and watch doubt and fear disappear.
