I love the encouragement that the presence of fear does not mean the absence of God. I needed this reminder! He is there no matter what my circumstance, I just need to go the Him!

These are SUCH GOOD lessons! #1 makes me think of the lesson Jesus taught people about the man born blind. When people asked if HE (the blind man) was a sinner or if his parents were sinners, the unforgettable lesson was that none of them were sinners. The man was born blind so that the power (and miracles) of God could be manifest. This is really something I need to think about right now as I struggle with “imperfect conditions” right now. Great post. Thanks! 🙂

What an amazing piece of writing! Thank you for allowing God to work with and through you. Fear and doubt really do stagnate our progress and calling but with our faith rooted in Christ, even in the stormy waters we have absolutely nothing to lose. It’s a win win!!! God bless you Shovorne. ?

Everything about this is so on time. I just keep reading it over and over again. It is truly confirmation of what God has asked me to do. I stepped out on faith. I just have to keep my eyes in the right direction. Thank you for this ??

What a wonderful reflection on this familiar passage. I especially love number two – I get sidetracked by fear and forget that Peter was never going to drown while Jesus was right there, calling Peter to Himself. Thank you for your faith-building words today.

Thanks for this very encouraging word. There is really a lot of good stuff here. I know that I tend to wait for the perfect conditions before acting, but one of my favourite verses is Ecclesiastes 11:4 which says “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.”

I also am often unwilling to take risks because I like to know that everything is in place and that I have a firm foothold. As such, I am usually reluctant to get out of the boat and trust in Jesus when he does call me to follow him into deeper water. We generally don’t like being asked to do the impossible but want a safety net.

Also, I probably tend to be too conscious of what others are thinking, unlike Peter. He demonstrated a bold faith that had no regard for other people’s opinions. It is a challenge to us all to be like that.

Thanks for this.
