Today I felt deeply in sync with the Holy Spirit, with peace dwelling in my heart without ceasing. I truly delight in the flow of days like this. Yet even within this wonderful experience, I could sense fear lurking, trying to throw anxious thoughts my way. But one line kept repeating in my mind: Dare you live like this?

Oh, my sweet Jesus, what a challenging yet beautiful teaching you have been patiently leading me. You have shown me so many details of where I need to go. And my answer is yes and yes, I dare. I want the courage to always give You this answer.

The moment when Peter walked toward Jesus on the water from The Chosen is exactly how I feel when I face You, Lord. I embrace the challenge, and I long to be so focused that my eyes remain fixed on You, so the waves will never pull me under.
