We talk of Christ,
we rejoice in Christ,
we preach of Christ...that
our children may know what
source they may look.
-2 Nephi 25:26
~Read the account of Peter's focus on Christ in Matthew 14:22-23 and John 21:1-19
The important part of the story of Peter is when he cried into the Lord, Christ was there immediately. Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him.
Many times we find ourselves in a similar situation. We become overwhelmed with the magnitude of the path before us. Questioning our ability to move forward, we begin doubting our ability to go on. And the storm begins to churn within. We find ourselves faltering, sinking, losing our ability to believe. We wonder if the Lord will carry us. through our own raging waters, if He will stretch forth His hand and catch us. Peter's mistake was taking his eyes off the Savior and letting the raging of the world around him become his focus. So often in the process of learning we take our eyes off the Savior. We lose sight of the goal and find ourselves focusing instead on the turmoil that surrounds us, losing our faith that He is able to calm the storm. -Emily Freeman
~Today remember to focus on Christ. Allow Him to become part of your conversations, your celebrations, your teaching moments, and your thoughts. Long to be near Him.
