God Answers When We Call Out for Help

Hi Advent Kids,

How has your week gone? Are you getting to do some special summer activities? Are you facing any challenges on your desert island this week? I am! This past week I jumped to obey God in a few things I knew He wanted me to do. But after just a little bit, I got overwhelmed and started to sink! That was when I discovered something really COOL! When I call out to God to help me, he DOES! 

Peter goes through this exact same experience in our story today from Matthew 14.  He hops out of the boat - in a STORM, despite huge WAVES - because Jesus calls him. But then, he stops looking at Jesus, looking down at the waves instead and . . . he starts to sink. Listen to the video to see what happens. 

This week I am praying for each of you to call out to God when you feel like you may be sinking! Let him reach his hand out and gather you close to himself!

I miss you guys!

Love,

Wendy
