20 | Walking on Water: Keeping Your Focus on Jesus When Life Feels Like a Storm
Do you ever notice how quickly your peace slips away the moment life gets chaotic?
One minute everything feels steady… and the next, your thoughts are racing, your heart is tight, and you’re wondering how everything got so overwhelming so fast.
In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we’re talking about Peter’s moment on the water in Matthew 14—and what it shows us about staying focused on Jesus when the circumstances around us feel bigger than we can handle. This isn’t about pretending the storm isn’t real. It’s about learning how to keep your eyes on the One who never moves, even when the waves rise.
You’ll learn:
✨ What led up to the storm—and why Jesus sent the disciples into it
✨ How Jesus prayed before the miracle (and why that matters for us)
✨ Why Peter could walk on water one moment and sink the next
✨ The real reason fear overtook him (hint: his circumstances didn’t change—his focus did)
✨ How Jesus responds when our faith falters
✨ Practical, grace-filled ways to steady your heart when life feels stormy
This isn’t another “just trust God more” message. It’s a reminder that Jesus sees you, comes toward you, and reaches for you the moment your faith starts to slip. You don’t have to hold it all together—His hand is already reaching toward you.
