Have you ever loved Jesus but still felt like you were drowning?
Praying, trusting, and trying to do the right things — yet the storm feels louder than His voice?
In this episode, we reflect on Peter walking on water in Matthew 14 and what it reveals about faith, fear, and the steady presence of Jesus. This isn’t about perfect faith or trying harder, but about who Jesus is when obedience still leads into storms and focus begins to drift.
Even when Peter began to sink, Jesus reached immediately.
And He still does.
——————————-
The supporting scriptures mentioned in the episode are:-
((( Psalms - Storm + steady God )))
Psalm 46:1–3
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble…”
Why it’s best: literally describes earth shaking + waters roaring, but God is present.
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God…”
Why: anchors the “return to the Word” moment—quiet your soul, refocus.
Psalm 56:3–4
“When I am afraid, I will trust in You…”
Why: short, quotable, fits the Peter moment (fear hits → choose trust).
Psalm 107:28–30
“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble… and He made the storm be still…”
Why: this one connects directly to storm imagery.
((( Philippians 4 - Anxiety → peace )))
Philippians 4:6–7 (Top pick)
“Do not be anxious about anything… and the peace of God… will guard your hearts…”
Why it’s best: this is the “storms get loud, Word louder” scripture.
Philippians 4:8
“Whatever is true… honorable… just… think about these things.”
Why: teaches how to redirect your mind off the waves.
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Why: great closing/confession verse.
((( Isaiah 41 - Fear not — I’m with you )))
Isaiah 41:10 (Top pick)
“Fear not, for I am with you… I will strengthen you…”
Why it’s best: this is basically Jesus’ message: “Take courage. It is I.”
Isaiah 41:13
“For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand…”
Why: fits the exact moment Jesus grabs Peter.
Isaiah 41:17
“When the poor and needy seek water… I the LORD will answer them…”
Why: good for desperation/prayer in the storm.
