Ch. 158 - The Boldness of Peter

Sometimes trial and error is the only way of finding the best way to prepare or practice for something. This may include the best way of following God or answering a call.

Remember the boldness of Peter as he stepped out of the boat to go to Jesus.

Have faith.

Stand strong in any storm that may surround you.

We need God - but He needs us, too.

Don't miss the divine invitation to follow Jesus and serve God.


'During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
[Matthew 14:25-31]
