KILL DOUBT

“But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:30-31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Now there was a certain day when Jesus sent his disciples off in the boat so He could stay behind to pray. When He was done praying, He walked to the bank of the sea and saw that there was no other boat sailing. At this time the disciples were already on their way headed to the next destination. Instead of waiting for the next available boat, Jesus walked on water to go join His disciples and when they sighted Jesus walking on water, they were terrified with fear thinking it was a ghost. After they realized that it was Jesus, Peter asked Jesus if he could join Him and immediately Jesus said come. 

So Peter got out of the boat and walked on water toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind and the stormy waves, he started to sink. He took his eyes off of Jesus and cried for help, immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took a hold of him saying "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" Peter's faith failed him and doubt stepped in. Many Christians often act the same way as Peter acted, they start off with so much faith and courage, but before long the voice of fear takes root and doubt finds its way in. They start sinking and never really achieving what they set out to do in the first place. 

It is your faith that will help you and it is also your fear that will sink you. When doubt finds it's way in, cancel and kill it with the faith of God in you.
