Day 03

Beginning to Sink

“But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!””

Matthew 14:30

Reflection

The fear arrived in the middle of the attempt, not before it. This is the part that shames people most — not that they never tried, but that they faltered after they did.

Pray

Father, I am afraid in the middle of something I believed You asked of me, and I am embarrassed to be here. Let me call out plainly instead of going quiet and going under.

Amen.

Declare

Faltering in the middle is not proof I should never have started.

Today’s practice

Say the three-word prayer out loud — Lord, save me — and then tell one person you are struggling.
