(Romans 8:29 nkjv) When we take our eyes off Jesus and allow our minds and hearts to be filled with doubt, fear, and anxiety, we can start to sink. So when that happens, here's what we need to do: Cry out to Jesus. That's what Peter did after he stepped out of the boat and started walking across the water to Jesus.
