Marla's Moments with the Master

Jesus, why did you wait to calm the waves when Peter got out of the boat to walk on the water? I wanted Peter to know how to keep coming to Me, keep doing what he is called to do even when the storms around him were huge. I wanted him to see that as long as he keeps his focus on Me and not on his circumstances, he won't sink into the storm and be swallowed up. And if you know the rest of his life after I ascended into heaven, you can see he wasn't afraid of the storm any longer.

You will never regret it. The boat is your human structure that is tossed and turned by every wind. My structure is to keep your eyes on me and no matter what is going on in the natural, it can't harm you. Don't let the mission be thwarted by fear and doubt.

Put your head on my shoulder and allow me to comfort you. Allow Me to provide for your needs. Fill up with My presence and My love so that there is no room in your heart for anxiety or fear. You can trust Me with your future when you put your future in My hands and let me work things out for your good ...
