Have you ever asked the Lord to draw you closer to Himself — then, found an overwhelming trial lying between you and that closeness?
The apostle Peter found himself in this position. Caught in a storm, he saw Jesus in the distance, walking on the waves. He wanted to be close to the Lord, but the storm lay between him and that closeness.
Suddenly Jesus spoke, telling Peter and the others not to be afraid. The Lord was standing on the waves — they were no longer an obstacle. Granting his request to come closer, the Lord allowed Peter to walk on those same waves.
