Keep Our Focus on Christ

Continuing on in my Peter theme from before:
"But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" When they got into the boat, the wind stopped." (Matthew 14:30-32 NASB)

Notice the wind kept blowing even after he cried out to Jesus? We don't know how far Peter got before the waves took hold of his fears, but even after putting his focus back on Jesus Peter still had to walk back through those fears to reach the boat, THEN, and only then, did the storm calm. Keeping our focus on Christ doesn't mean we won't have to walk through trials, just that with him we will be able to safely walk through them.
