As soon as he felt the force of the wind.
He took fright and began to sink.
Our own hope seems pinned.
We struggle to find any true link.

Man of little faith, why did you doubt.
And as they got into the boat the wind dropped.
Sometimes our own faith enters a bleak drought.
Our spiritual ears seem stopped.

Peter could not do this alone.
He needed Jesus’ hand.

As a man he sank but spiritually he had grown.

He had taken a stand.

And at least he had the courage to jump.

While we too often just remain in a grump.

……..

He felt the wind’s force

And then he began to sink

Just as we all do

……..

See Matthew 14: 22-33
