Scripture: Matthew 14:22-36
Today’s Gospel reading comes immediately after yesterday's. Jesus has just performed a great miracle and goes to pray. He sends his friends off on a boat. Later Jesus walks on water to see his friends. They were so shocked, they thought Jesus was a ghost. Peter tries to walk on water. He starts sinking but Jesus is there to help him up. When the disciples realized all that Jesus had done, they praised him as the Son of God. Then they went to heal more people. This story makes us think about our faith and our doubts. When we trust Jesus, we realize he is always there to help us.
