Fearing is a desperate attempt to hold onto
control
When you go forward in fear, you’re out of
control
When you are out of control, you’re in God’s
realm
When you’re in God’s realm, anything can
happen
“Anything can happen” can be both scary and
great
That is why we tend to fear
But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t
be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!”
Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s
really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
“Yes, come,” Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and
walked on the water toward Jesus. ~ Matthew 14:27-29
