Tag: Bible verses about having faith during tough times

Matthew 14:29-30 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

Are we looking at things all wrong?

When we face hard times, we can’t look at it as “poor me. I’m all done and washed up. I’m going to lose everything. I’ve failed”.

We have to change the way we see things. Why do we get scared when an opportunity comes and we need Christ to help us? Is it because we don’t like not knowing how it will all play out?

Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water. Now, think about that. Who walks on water? It’s an impossible thing to do, because as soon as you step out onto it, you sink. Gravity pulls you down Immediately.

But with Jesus, He makes what is known to be impossible, to become possible through our faith in Him.

We all have that chance to step out of the boat from time to time.

When we are faced with hard and impossible situations, it is a great opportunity to see where we stand in our faith. It’s a great opportunity for God to help us and show us how He can make the impossible be possible.

If we are facing an impossible situation, there may be a step we need to take, just like Peter. And then we need to hold our faith after we do it.

Don’t start analyzing things, or we will lose it.

Keep our eyes and ears on Christ. He will help us through it all the way if our faith is in Him and we follow.

Take this opportunity and enjoy seeing the impossible become possible! Amen.
