When Peter stepped out on faith to walk on water, he trusted completely in the one who called him out of the boat. He took several miraculous steps, walking on the water, just as Jesus had done.
However, when he lost sight of Jesus, he lost faith in the possibility of the impossible.
When we lose sight of Christ (Heb. 12:2), our faith wavers and we are overcome by the storms of life. Peter allowed the storm to distract him from focusing on Jesus.
But that is not the end of the story.
We see in Matthew 14:28-32, that when Peter’s focus shifted from Jesus to the wind, he cried out, “Lord, save me.”
And that’s exactly what our Lord did and does. He extends his hand in grace to rescue us. Step out on faith today, knowing that the Lord is there to catch you if you lose sight and draw you back to him.

2 Kings 6:15-17
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.
“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
We don’t know if Elisha could see with his physical eyes that the army of the Lord surrounded them. But we do know that he looked with eyes of faith.
Having trouble seeing with eyes of faith?
We can echo the prayer of the father in Mark 9:23-24.
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
