And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. ~Matthew 14:28-30
All of us have or will at one point in our lives found ourselves declaring, "Lord Save Me." I think in some way we can all relate to Peter's predicament of needing to be rescued by the Master. No matter how we are sinking in life's challenges and difficulties and notwithstanding how far we have sunk, the Savior will reach out and save us if we will but ask. I wanted to convey the despair that Peter felt in the moment as he was sinking and contrast that panic with the hope, but more importantly the hope that Christ gives us all that he will be there for us. ~Simon Dewey
