But when the wind rose and the waves crashed, his eyes shifted from faith to fear. And yet — in that exact moment — Jesus reached out and caught him.Maybe you have been there too. You started the day strong. You prayed. You trusted. But then one phone call, one diagnosis, one unexpected shift — and suddenly your peace was gone.In this episode, we talk about how to:• Fix your eyes on Jesus when everything feels uncertain • Strengthen your faith in the middle of the storm • Trust God’s timing even when it does not match your own • Pray expectantly as a daughter who knows her Father hears herWe will walk through Scripture together, including:• Matthew 14:22–33 — Peter walks on water • 2 Chronicles 20:12 — “Our eyes are on You” • Psalm 16:8 — “I have set the Lord continually before me” • Romans 8:28 — “All things work together for good” • Hebrews 12:2 — “Fixing our eyes on Jesus”Whether you are standing strong or feel like you are sinking, this episode will remind you of this truth — Jesus has never taken His eyes off you.
