"Lord, Save Me!"

Matthew 14:28-29

²⁸ Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”  ²⁹ “Yes, come,” Jesus said.  So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.  ³¹ Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”  ³² When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. ³³ Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.

Ever take on a task that was risky or that required a lot of courage but somehow resulted in disappointment, failure, or defeat?  Have you ever felt like you were sinking or going under?  How do you get out of this situation?  

First, be encouraged that you had the boldness to step out when others were afraid to.  Second, refocus on what prompted you to "get out of the boat" and not on opposing factors that may have distracted you from your goals and objectives.  Third, call out to your Savior, Jesus Christ!  When you call out to Him, He will rescue you every time!  Fourth, remember that no matter what seems to be prevailing over you, faith in Christ will give you laser beam focus to overcome and achieve success.

Have a great day!  God bless you.
