Peter Walks on the Water

🌟 Peter was an ordinary fisherman with an ordinary boat. Jesus used his boat to teach the crowd, and later called Peter to follow Him. Jesus can use ordinary people like us, and whatever we have.

🌟 Peter was tired and had caught nothing all night. But when Jesus said, Let down your nets, Peter obeyed, and the nets were so full they began to break! When we obey Jesus' words, we see how good He is.

🌟 Jesus said to Peter, Follow Me, and Peter left his nets and boat right away. Following Jesus is the best adventure of all! We follow Him when we listen to His words and do them.

🌟 In a terrible storm, Jesus slept peacefully in the boat, because He trusted His Father. The disciples were afraid, but Jesus was right there with them. Jesus is with us in our storms too.

🌟 Jesus stood up and said to the wind and waves: Peace, be still! At once everything became calm. The wind and the sea obey Jesus, so we can trust Him with every storm in our lives.

🌟 After a busy day, Jesus sent everyone away and went up the mountain alone to pray. Jesus made time to talk with His Father. We can pray anytime, anywhere, and God always listens.

🌟 The disciples rowed hard all night against the wind and waves, and Jesus wasn't in the boat. But Jesus saw them from the mountain and was coming to help. When life is hard, God sees us and knows how to calm our storms.

🌟 In the dark, stormy night, the disciples saw someone walking on the water and screamed, A ghost! But it was Jesus, coming to help them. When we are afraid, we can trust God, who comes to us in our storms.

🌟 In the storm, Jesus called out: Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid! When the disciples heard His voice, their fear began to go away. Jesus' words still give us courage today.

🌟 Peter said, Lord, if it's You, tell me to come! Jesus said, Come! And Peter stepped out of the boat onto the water. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can take brave steps of faith.

🌟 Peter walked on the water towards Jesus! He couldn't do it on his own, but Jesus' power held him up. With Jesus' strength, we can do things we never thought we could.

🌟 When Peter stopped looking at Jesus and looked at the big waves, he became afraid and began to sink. Our worries can look huge too. When we keep our minds on Jesus, God gives us perfect peace.

🌟 As Peter sank, he cried out: Lord, save me! He couldn't save himself, so he called to Jesus. Whenever we need help, we can call on Jesus' name, and He will hear us.

🌟 When Peter sank, Jesus immediately reached out His hand and caught him. Jesus wasn't angry; He helped Peter trust Him more. God holds our hand too, and says: Don't be afraid, I will help you.

🌟 When Jesus and Peter climbed into the boat, the wind stopped. The disciples worshipped Jesus and said: Truly You are the Son of God! We can worship Jesus too, with our songs and thankful hearts.

🌟 When Jesus arrived at Gennesaret, people brought all their sick friends to Him. Everyone who touched His cloak was made well! Jesus cares about us when we are sick, and we should never forget all the good things He does.

🌟 Jesus asked His friends: Who do you say I am? Peter answered: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God! Peter had learned who Jesus truly is. Each of us can answer Jesus' question too.

🌟 Peter was afraid and said three times that he didn't know Jesus. He was very sorry. After Jesus rose again, He forgave Peter and asked three times: Do you love Me? Jesus forgives us when we're sorry and gives us a fresh start.

🌟 After a night of catching nothing, the disciples saw Jesus on the beach. He filled their net again and cooked them breakfast! Jesus cares for us in big and small ways. God's love is new every morning.

🌟 Many years later, Peter wrote: Cast all your cares on God, because He cares for you. Peter had learned on the lake that Jesus always catches us. We can give all our worries to God, because He loves us.
