Peter stepped out because Jesus said, “Come.” He walked while his eyes stayed on Jesus. When he looked at the wind and waves, he began to sink. Jesus reached out, caught him, and asked, “Why did you doubt?” This image reminds us not to doubt in the middle of a miracle. Matthew 14:29–31.
sleep comes
night fear quiets
the apology given
the grudge released
counseling starts hope returns
a job opens after months of prayer
a text that says im coming home
thirty days sober still walking
you finally found love
papers signed adoption final
the scan is clear
Now we’re in the boat. We’re on our feet. We cheer. We count steps. We call his name. One is on the rail. Another hits the side. We are with him. And if our brother sinks, we pull him back into the boat and celebrate the miracle. Then we keep our eyes on Jesus and keep coming.
