Faith steps out even when fear rises. Peter walked on water because he trusted Jesus, but he began to sink when he focused on the storm. His story teaches us that faith grows when we keep our eyes on Christ.

Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. (Matthew 14:28)

And he said, Come. (Matthew 14:29)

When he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid. (Matthew 14:30)
