Walking On The Sea

In Matthew 14, after the savior feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread and 2 fishes, the savior directs his disciples to go ahead of him and get on the ship while he sent off the people that they had just fed. After the Savior sent off the people, he went up to a mountain to pray.
When the Savior came down from the mountain he found the ship caught in a storm in the middle of the sea and performed the miracle of walking on the water to go out to them. When the Savior's disciples saw him walking towards them they thought he was a spirit and were frightened, but in verse 27 it says "But straightaway Jesus spake unto them, saying, be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."
When Peter heard this he called out to the Savior saying in verse 28 "Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water." After the Savior told peter to come out to him, he stepped out onto the water, but he soon became afraid when the strong wind started to blow. This fear was a way of doubting the Lords power, which caused him to start to sink. When peter saw that he was starting to sink he called out to the savior to help him and in verse 31 it says "And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst though doubt?"
I love this story, because we can learn many things from the interaction between Peter and the Savior. I love what Peter says in verse 28, because it shows the testimony that Peter has that Jesus is the son of God and that all things are possible through him. Like so many of us though, Peter began to have doubts, but when he called out to the Savior to save him, "immediately Jesus stretched for his hand, and caught him." It goes to show that the Savior really does want to help us, and he will immediately stretch out to save us if we ask for his help.
In Doctrine & Covenants 88:67 it says "And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things." Peter was filled with this light and he was able to comprehend that Jesus Christ was the Savior, and it gave him strong enough testimony to be able to walk on stormy seas. We need to strive to obtain the light that Peter had so that when we are caught in the stormy seas of life, we can walk over the waves and embrace the Savior.
