Walking on the Sea

 Matthew 14:22-33

When they first saw Christ walking on the water they thought He was a Ghost and were terrified. Immediately Christ reassured them that it was Him,their Savior.

  When Peter was comforted he asked Christ to allow him to walk on the water towards Him. Peter wanted to show Christ that he had faith in Him. Peter had faith and stepped out of the boat and walked on the water. Peter's faith was strong as long as he kept his eyes on Christ. The moment Peter looked away he began to fear because of the storm around him. When he saw the waves and winds all around he started to doubt, that is when he began to sink into the water. 

Peter cried out to the Lord for help and Christ did not hesitate, He immediately saved his friend from drowning in the deep water. 

As followers in Christ we want to show our faith in Jesus Christ but sometimes obstacles distract us and cause us to sink into despair and doubt. This is when we need to call out for Christ help. I know He will always be there to help us and save us. I think we can all learn from Peter's experience. We have to remember that no matter what is around us, we have to keep our eye single to the glory of God.

Doctrine and Covenants 88:67 states that if we have an eye single to the glory of God we will be filled with the Spirit (light). When we have this light we have no desire to do evil (darkness)and evil can not be found in us. Having this "light" we will be able to understand all things even the mysteries of heaven.
