“He was in the water—with Peter. Within reaching distance.”
When Peter stepped out of the boat to walk toward Jesus Christ, he began with faith. But when he noticed the wind and waves, fear took over and he began to sink.
We can have moments like that too.
President Emily Belle Freeman reminds us that when we feel overwhelmed, Jesus Christ is not watching from a distance. He is near, ready to reach out to us when we need Him most.
On our best days and our worst days, we can keep walking with Him and trust that His strength is within reach.
