Matthew 14:13-16.
Jesus loved to get away on his own to pray. When we are completely on our own with God, we can speak to Him honestly and from the depth of our hearts. It was his closeness to God that enabled Jesus to walk on water. He encouraged Peter to do the same. But, when Peter saw the waves, he panicked. We all know that feeling. When things go wrong, we take our eyes off Jesus, focus on our circumstances, and that causes us to sink.
Just like Peter, we pray a panic prayer, Lord save me! Even though it is a panic prayer, it also is a cry from the heart.
Like his disciples, let us too cry out from our hearts in worship and say, "truly you are the Son of God".
Lord Jesus, in this life there are many things to fear, yet You want us to look to you and not be afraid. Your words of encouragement are founded on Your limitless power and personal love for all who belong to you.
