Any fisherman will tell you that it’s impossible to walk on water. Yet, when Peter saw Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 14:25), he decided that he wanted to give it a try. After verifying that it was truly Jesus, the trusting apostle climbed out of the boat and actually began to walk on the water! The miracle lasted until he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the storm. Beginning to sink, Peter cried out for help and his words were recorded in the Bible. If you’re in a crisis now, or find yourself in one in the future, you can thank Peter for giving you the one prayer you need to know in a crisis…
“Lord, save me!”
Immediately, Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him. Wow. That’s what I call an effective prayer. If you’re in trouble, give it a try. I can’t promise how the Lord will answer, but I know he will. He’s never let me down.
