Keep Your Eyes On Jesus...

Isn't this true for us too as it was for Peter...
if we keep our eyes on Jesus he will help us 'walk on water'
 but if we look around and focus on the dark waves
we will sink in fear!

When grief wreaks havoc in our form

And dreams in shambles lie

Pray that we hear within the storm

“Take courage, it is I”

When hope is tempest-tossed about

Where faith and fear-lords vie

Pray that we hear beyond all doubt

“Take courage, it is I”

When Love draws loved ones out of reach

And leaves us wond’ring why

Pray that we hear a Voice beseech

“Take courage, it is I”  

And when we that last strait must brave

Where death’s dark mysteries lie

Pray that we hear across the wave

“Take courage, it is I”

 But Jesus immediately said to them:

 "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

Matt.14:27
