If the Spirit

indicates our step

our feet hear

One in front

of the other

until we break

gaze from His face

and eye threatening

winds and waves

As soon as we

consider them

we

sink

Doubt and fear

rage and wage

against our focus

Through the storm

we hear Jesus

calling us to

trust his voice

and come

with abandon

Even if we

tiptoe tepidly

we walk on water ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Matthew 14: 29-3O

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
