Come, Follow Me

Matthew 14

How Can Christ Empower Me to Do Wonderful Things?

Throughout our lives, as we grow closer to Christ and learn to hear the voice of the Spirit, we may be asked to do things we feel unsure about. Like Peter walking on water, we can be empowered to do what feels impossible so long as we focus on Christ and, as Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught, “live by faith and not by fear” (“Live by Faith and Not by Fear,” Liahona, Nov. 2007, 70).

Activity

Read Matthew 14:22–33 and outline Peter’s experience.

When we focus on Christ, He will always be there to help us.
