And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Hopelessness plagues most people at some point or another. It isn't reserved for a select few. Even many of our honored Biblical heroes suffered from a lack of hope from time to time. Tony Evans shares thoughts on how to have hope and overcome despair in this short reading plan.
If you are in a situation where you cannot imagine a good outcome or where you feel hemmed in by your circumstances, it can be easy to be tempted to give up hope. But don’t forget that God knows exactly where you are. He hasn’t lost track of you. And He will bring you through if you keep your eyes on Him.
Sometimes following God requires stepping out on a word when the wind is against you — and once you take a step of faith you’ve got to fix your focus on what God said instead of what you see. Dive into this practical, 3-day devotional with ELEVATION RHYTHM to learn how to walk on water through any storm!
This three-day plan is all about perseverance and studies some key characters in the Bible who set the example for us as believers. Perseverance is hard, but the reward is worth it!
