“It’s vital that we learn to fix our eyes on the Savior as we traverse the wind-tossed sea of mortality,” said Barrett. “Leaving the boat and everything we rely on to stay afloat to follow the beckon of the Savior and walk on water requires a lot of faith in Him. There will be moments of darkness and doubt. In such moments of darkness and calamity, we may sink to our knees with the same desperate plea [as Peter]: ‘Lord, save me’ (Matthew 14:30).” And when we do, “He will help us up, He will complete our lack, and He will finish our faith” (see Hebrews 12:1–2).
