Jesus,

I know You want me step out of the boat from time to time, and I trust You.  I just don’t want to be like Peter and sink when I see the waves.  Please tell me to stay in the boat if I am not ready to stay focused on You in the face of adversity and distraction.  You alone know the way.  Please send Your Spirit to guide my family and provide us the wisdom and discernment to hear Your true will in every situation, big and small.

In Your Name I put my trust,

Amen.
