Stay Focused On God To Get You Through
29 He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." (Matthew 14:29-30, ESV)

Today is the anniversary of the worst day of my life.
Two th
My Aunt Joan was found dead in her apartment in 2020 and in 2015, I strongly considered taking my own life.
I was depressed and hopeless standing atop of a 13 story building in Orlando Florida thinking that my life could not and would not get better.
I was too scared and thank God for my “lack” of courage because the Devil was truly searching for me.
He didn't win though!
My pastor said something in a sermon not too long ago.
“The same water Peter was struggling to stay afloat in was the same water that Jesus walked on”
We may be struggling to make it through day by day because we are trying to do things our way.
We are doing the opposite and walking by sight but not by faith.
We are doing great things in our eyes and then suddenly find ourselves sinking.
Life is hard!
And the best way to make it through is by relying on God.
August 25th is a hard day for me and when life gets hard I remind myself by looking at the note on the back of my phone that yes it's hard but if I can survive the August 25th of the past, I can survive today.
That's only possible by keeping my eyes on Jesus.
Don't look down to see the footsteps.
Stay focused on God.
