Jesus said this to his disciples as he walked on water. When the waters are raging in our lives, Jesus uses this event to express our need to call on our faith and ask God for help.
Many times in my life I have repeated this quote of Jesus because I know that I am not capable of overcoming an urge, solving a problem, or reaching the height God has chosen for me. When I say this quote from Jesus to myself, it is like a prayer. It gives me strength to know that God does not want me to fear or for that matter let fear keep me from doing God’s will. Even when the water’s rage in front of me, I hold out my hand to Jesus as Peter did, and know that God conquers all and completes me without fear.
