As soon as the meal was finished, he insisted that the disciples get in the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he dismissed the people. With the crowd dispersed, he climbed the mountain so he could be by himself and pray. He stayed there alone, late into the night. Meanwhile, the boat was far out to sea when the wind came up against them and they were battered by the waves. At about four o’clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them walking on the water. They were scared to death. “A ghost!” they said, crying out in terror. But Jesus was quick to comfort them. “Courage, it’s me. Don’t be afraid.” Peter, suddenly bold, said, “Master, if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come ahead.” Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!” Jesus didn’t hesitate. He reached down and grabbed his hand. Then he said, “Faint-heart, what got into you?” The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down. The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, “This is it! You are God’s Son for sure!”

Have you ever experienced failure? If you have spent any amount of time in life on this earth you have failed, and those failures can break you. If there is one person who understood failure in full measure it would be the Apostle Peter. This plan will share three incidences in the life of Peter that perhaps you can identify with. God can teach us that failure is not fatal.
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!
Trauma plays a major part in shaping our character. Whether good or bad, there are lessons that we can extract from each experience. Sometimes the effects can linger and negatively impact us and our relationships. Speaking from personal experience, trauma can also be used as a tool to position us for triumph. In this devotional, we will explore components that resonated with me as I navigated my own healing.
