"Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."

Matthew 12:22-33
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
"Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Truly, You are the Son of God.
Truly, You are God.

Sometimes we forget that God is the Almighty.
Sometimes we forget that God is greater than our problems and our circumstance.
Sometimes we forget that God is a miracle working God.
Sometimes we forget that God is more powerful than anything.
And sometimes we forget that it is not what we can do. It is what God can do.
What do we have to fear? Our God is greater, our God is stronger.
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
So get out of that boat. Have faith. And walk on water.
"Come," he said.

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God
Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no One like You
None like You.
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if Our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if Our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?
