"Come." He said.

"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. "  Matthew 14:26-29
All Jesus said was 'come'. All Peter had to do was look at, and focus on Jesus; not the wind, not the rain, or the waves around him. But when he looked anywhere other than Christ, he began to sink. (Matthew 14:29-31) But He was and is always quick to answer our cry for help (Matt. 14:30-31)
It is easy to be distracted by the 'storm' around us. Easy to listen to the loud voices of those around us, to society today, instead of the one Voice that matters.
He may not tell you where, what or how; but if He says come, all you have to do is go. Look only at His face, listen only to His voice. I pray we may all know our Shepherd's voice, and follow Him alone.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there I am with them." Matthew 18:18-20
As a prayer amongst believers today was occurring, I felt the Spirit very near us; around us and answering our prayers even as we uttered them. I still feel His lingering touch, and I am at peace. Words that needed utterance were said, strength and perseverance were asked for.
 I do not feel Him so strongly very often, but I am always thankful for the times I do. Thank You LORD, for hearing our prayers.
 I have a joy in my heart that only comes from You.
 I love You, help me be faithful as I follow where You lead.
