And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29. So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.  30. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31.

Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Greetings, precious soul, Life can be overwhelming. We work, engage in business, and chase after new opportunities. But life also brings uncertainty, struggles, and temptations.
