When Faith Holds Us Above the Waves: Lessons From Peter Walking on Water

Image
Storms don’t always give warnings. Some roll in quietly. Others hit hard and fast—just like the moments in life that shake us, stretch us, or leave us feeling overwhelmed. But faith… faith is the anchor that refuses to let the storm win. Matthew 14 gives us a beautiful, bold picture of faith in motion. Peter stepped out of the boat because His eyes were fixed on Jesus. For a moment, he defied the impossible. And then? The winds grew louder. The waves grew taller. Fear crept in. His focus shifted from the Savior to the storm—and he began to sink. Isn’t that all of us? We praise God on Sunday… and then worry greets us on Monday. We start strong when the vision is clear… but sink when the chaos hits. We walk boldly when life is calm… but tremble when the waters rise. Yet the most powerful part of the story isn’t that Peter walked on water. It’s that when he started sinking—Jesus immediately reached out His hand. That’s who God is. Even when our faith wavers, His grip does not. Even when w...

Purpose Before Position

Image
  Purpose is not something you find — it is something God planted deep within you before you took your first breath. Every gift, instinct, strength, talent, and ability was placed inside you long before life gave you a title. God never designed your roles to create your purpose — He designed your purpose to shape your roles. For Women You were created with an inner knowing that sees beyond the surface, with compassion that carries others, with strength that stretches farther than you admit, and with wisdom that grows even in silence. Your purpose shows up in every space you enter — your home, your relationships, your ministry, your leadership, your business, and your care for others. You carry a softness that heals, a strength that anchors, and a grace that God uses to bless generations. For Men You were created with authority in your voice, stability in your presence, courage in your spirit, and vision in your mind. God designed you to lead, to protect, to cover, to build, and to ...

“Guard Your Heart: How to Stand Firm When the Battle Gets Personal”

Image
  There's a reason the Bible says,  “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23).   The enemy knows if he can infect your heart—your peace, your focus, your joy—he can influence everything else that flows from it: your words, your worship, your work, your witness. That’s why many of our greatest battles don’t come from strangers—they come through people and places closest to us. Family. Finances. Health. Ministry. Relationships. The enemy knows those hits cut deeper. They’re designed to make you question God’s presence and purpose when the weight feels too heavy. But here’s the truth the Spirit keeps reminding me: we’re not fighting people—we’re fighting principalities. The Real Fight Isn’t Flesh and Blood Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” That means your argument with your spouse isn’t really about the dishes. Your frustration with your coworker isn’t just about workload. The tension with ...

When Frustration Meets Faith

Image
Scripture: Habakkuk 1:1-5 There are moments when our prayers sound like echoes in a storm. We cry out, asking “Lord, do You see this?” and God replies, “I’m doing something you wouldn’t believe if I told you.” Habakkuk teaches us that faith is not built in comfort—it’s forged in questions. When frustration meets faith, transformation begins. God’s silence is not His absence; it’s the space where hope is growing roots. So when you feel stretched, misunderstood, or worn thin—pray anyway. Praise anyway. God’s plan is unfolding, even through your tears. Prayer: Father, turn my frustration into faith and my waiting into worship. Help me to believe that You are working, even now. Call to Action: Choose one situation that frustrates you most and turn it into a written prayer today—then watch hope rise. Unapologetically, G.
