Sinking Like Peter

Lord, I took my eyes off of you and Your provision...and I sank like a rock. Sank like Peter did when he tried to walk on water towards You. 

There is a reason that story is in the gospels...it's to teach us a lesson. To teach us what we need to do...KEEP FOCUSED ON JESUS.  I did not do this. And the second I stop doing this, the worry...the fear...the panic...the needing to be in control begin to creep in...and I sink...

Your Word also says to NOT WORRY.  I fail at this. I worry. I want to control and plan.  In this process of worry, control and planning...I hurt people. I hurt my best friend in the whole world.  And this was never my intention. 

His problem is throwing logic away...mine is clinging to logic...as I tend to be rather free-spirited and illogical....but when I throw too much logic in there that's when I take my eyes off Christ, focus too much on me and what I want and how I need to take care of myself...and God's Word says NOT TO DO THIS.  I lack trust...

But I don't know how.

So I fall.

"“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,  yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!  Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’  For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." ~Matthew 6:25-34

Lord help me not sink like a rock....help me keep my eyes on You and trust Your provision, grace, strength and timing...You've never failed before....
