There is spiritual warfare around. The enemy knows your weaknesses and will attack you at the part where you’re weakest and will hurt you the most. The enemy will try to turn your focus away from Jesus, and into despair.
Just like Peter, who tried to walk on water, when he focused his eyes on Jesus, he was able to surprisingly walk on water. But when he took away his gaze on Jesus and became aware of his situation, suddenly he fell and desperately tried to stay afloat. He cried on Jesus to help him, and we can learn two things here: When we focus our eyes on Jesus, we can stay afloat despite of the storm. And when we do lose our focus, we just cry to Jesus and He will help us.
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV
