“‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ So He said, ‘Come'” (Matthew 14:28-29 NKJV). For a few heart-stilling moments described in Matthew 14 Peter did the impossible.

Give the storm waters more attention than the Storm Walker, and get ready to do the same.

Feed your fears, and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will starve. Storms are not an option, but fear is.
