Memory Verse : “A friend loves you all the time.” Proverbs 17:17, NCV
Jesus is a good friend when I am afraid.
Peter Walks on Water • Matthew 14:22-33
Jesus’ friends, the disciples, are on a boat in the water, and they see something coming toward them. They are all afraid until Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid.” Peter hops out of the boat and begins walking on the water toward Jesus. But, when Peter hears the wind blowing and sees the waves getting bigger, he feels afraid and begins to sink! Jesus holds His hand out and pulls Peter up, helping Peter back in the boat. Jesus is a good friend to Peter when he is afraid, because Jesus is always a good friend.
