John 15:14-1614 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:14-1616 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

Matthew 14:28-2928 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
Faith is the demonstration of trust in who God is.
Everything that God does seeks torestore a relationship of trust with us.
God’s purpose for us relies more on His abilities than ours.
Matthew 14:30-3130 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
The trials we face are opportunities to grow trust.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without bordersLet me walk upon the watersWherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wanderAnd my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
