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.
