Many of you find yourselves struggling to stand firm in rough waves and stormy seas where life has brought unexpected turbulence and your feet are searching for solid ground. I want you to know that I am the one that calls to you and brings you into peace. I am calling you by name and beckoning you, move out of the rocky boat and take my hand, walk on the waters with me.
Stand firm even now in me and lift your gaze, focus on me and me alone. Do not focus on the waves round about you but capture my gaze. I the Lord your God am sure and steadfast and I will keep you sure and steadfast. I am giving you the faith you need to overcome every storm and to find a firm and steady place in Me. Rest in My peace, My safety and My steadfastness in this season.
Activitation:
Take a moment and focus on where Jesus is in the room with you today. He is giving you faith, peace, security and steadiness in Him. Ask Him what that looks like – can you see colours, shapes, is He handing you something, taking you somewhere with Him, let Him lead and guide you as you experience His closeness and nearness.
Take Jesus by the hand as He extends His hand to you and stand firmly in the place of steadfastness He has shown you. Ask Him what it looks like in the natural to walk on the waves with Him and to take His hand as He leads you out onto still waters with Him.
28 Peter replied to Him, “Lord, if it is [really] You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29 He said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you [a]doubt?”
Matthew 14:28-31 (AMP)

[a] Matthew 14:31 I.e. allow yourself to be drawn in two directions.
For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given;
And the government shall be upon His shoulder,
And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Isaiah 9:6 (AMP)
