No Matter the Struggle

In Matthew 14:29-31, we read where Jesus walked on the water, and Peter asked to join him.  But then Peter lost his focus on Jesus, and instead, he focused on the storm around them, and he began to sink.

How many times do we lose our focus on Jesus?  Life has many struggles that we must face, but the key to getting through them is to keep our eyes on Jesus.

I don't know about you, but when I face a situation that's scary or feels over-whelming, I tend to worry.  Well when we worry, we lose our focus on Jesus.  That's not what He wants.  He wants us to trust Him.  When we become afraid or we start to worry, we have to change our focus back to Jesus.  Focusing on the "storm" in your life is only going to make it seem worse.

You may ask, but how do I focus on Jesus?  I believe the best ways to focus on Him is to pray, spend time with Him, read His word, praise Him, and give Him thanks.  Just talk to Jesus like He's your very best friend because He is, you know.

So the next time that "storm" arises in your life, the next time you start to worry, just remember..."No matter the struggle, keep your eyes on Jesus".

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus..."
Hebrews 12:2
