LORD, SAVE ME

LORD SAVE ME               Saturday May 30, 2015

Text: Matthew 14:22 – 33         Memory verse: v 30

Ability to know where our help lies matters so much if we actually want to succeed in life. This is the reason behind Psalm 121:2. Sometimes in life, we start out with good intentions but our faith falters. This doesn’t necessarily mean we have failed.

When Peter’s faith faltered, he reached out to Christ, the only one who could help. He shouted, “Lord save me.” So long as Peter’s attention was fixed upon the Lord's command he succeeded in his venture; but so soon as he let the power of the tempest distract his thoughts, his faith failed and he began to sink. He became afraid, but he still looked to Christ. When you are apprehensive about the troubles around you and doubt Christ’s presence or ability to help, remember that he is the only one who can help.

Beloved, are you currently apprehensive about troubles, temptations, trials and persecutions around, that your faith in Christ has started faltering? Note that our fears weaken our faith. However, Matthew 28:20b should be a consolation for us. He has also promised to hear us when we call. Don’t sink into the sea of troubles and problems of life. Jesus is ready to deliver you from sinking just as He did for Peter. He is ever willing to help (Mark 1:41).

Prayer: Lord, save me and don’t allow me to sink into the sea of troubles and problems of this life. Heal my faltering faith in Jesus name.
