Lord, save me

Read

²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. ²⁶ And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. ²⁷ But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. ²⁸ And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. ²⁹ And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. ³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Reflect

Jesus comes to his frightened disciples on the sea and says, 'Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.' When Peter sinks and cries out, Jesus immediately stretches out his hand and catches him. Little faith is still met by a ready hand.

Pray

Lord, when I look at the wind and begin to sink, save me. Thank you that your hand is quicker than my doubt. Amen.
