But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
Matthew 14:26-27
Father God, as I navigate through the challenges of life it is easy for me to fall back into broken beliefs and petty superstitions, holding on to preconceived notions contrived in my mind and ill founded based upon what I know about You and Your Word. My soul finds comfort in knowing that You are there to speak peace into my situation and provide me with the needed word from You that restores calm in the moment and takes my focus off what I am going through and trains it upon You. Today I ask that You would help me not to resort to that former mindset when I am going through but instead to trust in what I know to be true regarding You and how You have always shown up in my times of need. Help me to pull down any imagination and high thing that is contrary to Your Word, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ that I might think Your thoughts after You, following in the footsteps of my Savior, trusting solely in You and Your ability to bring me through. Though often it may not be logical by the world’s perspective, this day I choose to believe You. Today I rest in that reality. Be exalted in Jesus’ Name!
