Helpful or Harmful

Good Morning! FYI It's 7:15 am eastern.

Read Matthew 14:22-33. Are you focusing on the things that can cause harm to the work Christ has set before you? Are you crying out to Him in your time of need? Why is it that we constantly are learning the lesson that if we just cry out to Jesus in our time of need He will immediately come to our rescue? And why do we get ourselves is the predicament that we become 'urgent' with our request? Ugh!

What is harmful to you as you pursue Christ? Doubt; Fear; Worry; Loss of Focus (on Jesus); Crowds (of the wrong kind).

What is helpful to you as you pursue Christ? Trust; "Getting out of the Boat"; Prayer (a crying out); Faith; Peace; Solitude (alone time with Christ away from people, different from feeling lonely - which we are never alone when our focus is on Christ).

My prayer: LORD, Save Me! Save me from my selfish ways.
