Gabriel

Some people may wonder what's the point of Jesus showing his disciples he can walk on water. It's actually a very good example of letting your faith be bigger than your fears. Peter tried but ultimately succumb to his fears but Jesus saved him. You may think those days are over and we may never get the chance to walk on water with Jesus. But, that's the furthest from the truth. Jesus is actually welcoming you to walk on the water everyday. To put your faith to the test in deep waters. Psalms 69:1-2: "Save me, God! The water is up to my neck; I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, and the waves are about to drown me." Jesus is asking us in those times where the water is to high, deep, and violent to focus on him instead of what we fear overtaking us. All he asks that our hearts not be moved by fear and doubt but emboldened by his omnipotence. He is asking to be your solid ground if you'd let him. I'm getting the jist of walking on water with Jesus and I hope others will also. The voices attack daily so I get alot of practice and chances to overcome my fears. Getting to the point where your faith can withstand and repel fear and doubt is one of the most peaceful and exciting things ever that I hope others get to experience. At first the voices use to corrode my mind with there unwanted intrusions interfering with my thoughts. But, now that my faith is strong enough to withstand and repel fear and doubt nothing they say faze me or controls me anymore and they growing quieter because of this. Trusting in Jesus and resting in our faith gives us all the power we need to overcome whatever we need to. I no longer find myself drowning because of the voices but find myself at peace in the mist of a storm and violent waters and because I'm at peace the storm realizes it can't shake me and passes and the waters calm. Everything passes. The storm and violent waters don't scare me anymore. I've had enough practice in letting my faith be bigger than what I fear. I'm no longer afraid and susceptible to being washed away. I am firm in my belief. I hope and pray others find there foundation in the mist of the storm and violent waters. Jesus said, “Come.” And Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. But when Peter saw the wind and the waves, he became afraid and began to sink. He shouted, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught Peter.
