The Faith to Walk on Water (Unit 1, Choice 3)

On a particular afternoon, Jesus sent His disciples out to sea while he remained behind to pray.  After a while, He joins them at sea.  He walked to them on the water, astonishing all of them.  Peter is permitted to join the Savior and miraculously also walks on the water.  He had tremendous faith.  However, Peter sank when he started to pay attention to the storm that was bustling around him and he became afraid.  He cries out to the Lord who immediately reaches for him.  I love the lesson in this story.  We must exercise great faith in Jesus Christ, and when we do great miracles happen for us.  I can’t help but feel that the greatest miracle happens when we cry out to the Lord and He immediately reaches to save us.  When I experience trials or difficulties, I, like Peter, can call out to the Savior with pure faith and trust, and He will be there for me.
