Matthew 14:22-36

S - Matt. 14:22-36

O - Jesus spent all day, until evening, by himself on a hillside praying. He sent his disciples off in a boat.

Peter had faith to walk out on the water to Jesus, but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and started to sink.

Jesus rebuked him saying "You of little faith, why do you doubt?"

When he reached the other side, word of him spread, and people who needed healing came to him. ALL WHO TOUCHED HIM WERE HEALED. (EVEN WHEN THEY TOUCHED THE EDGE OF HIS CLOAK). Amazing.

A - Spend time alone with God. Significant time. Uninterrupted time. Time in quiet.

When the winds come, and Jesus calls, keep going. Don't doubt him in the circumstances around me.

Jesus healed even those who touched his cloak. He has the power. Do not doubt. Believe he has the power to heal if he chooses.

P - God, You are great. Help me to have more faith in you. Help me to believe in you and do not doubt your hand, your leading, despite circumstances (wind). Help me to get away and have uninterrupted time with you, to be filled with you and be confident in you. Help me to have faith as I pray for those who need your healing touch... Emma, Nico, Grandma, Gram, Papa... Lord, I believe you can heal. Be with me this day. Strengthen me and help me to stay at rest in you. Amen.
