Fear Not! ► Without Faith My Prayer Won’t Work ► Don’t Stop; It’s Working
Empower the believer with revelation concerning prayer and its power to impact life circumstances in order to stay constantly connected to God
Prayer – The Supernatural activity of communing with God, whereby I share my intimate thoughts and feelings and God shares His intimate thoughts and feelings and gives instructions to me.

And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him. —Hebrew 11:6 (TPT)

…So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. —Matthew 14:29 (GNT)

Three steps to walking through “this” storm with Jesus

27Jesus spoke to them at once. “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don’t be afraid!”
28Then Peter spoke up. “Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you.”
29“Come!” answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus.30But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. “Save me, Lord!” he cried.
31At once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him and said, “What little faith you have! Why did you doubt?”
32They both got into the boat, and the wind died down. 33 Then the disciples in the boat worshiped Jesus. “Truly you are the Son of God!” they exclaimed. —Matthew 14:27-32 (GNT)
