Living in Fear for the Future- Does This Act Alone Disconnect The Magic Harmony with Love?

Jesus shows his mastery over water through two separate miracles. When he and some of the disciples are out on a boat together and a fierce storm hits, the disciples tell Jesus that they’re afraid they’ll drown. But Jesus famously responds “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” (Matthew 8:26) and proceeds to calm the storm's wind and waves (Matthew chapter 8, Mark chapter 4, and Luke chapter 8). The well-known Gospel account of Jesus walking on water (Matthew chapter 14, Mark chapter 6, and John chapter 6) describes Jesus walking from a shore far out onto a lake where the disciples were in a boat. They were afraid at first, thinking that Jesus was a ghost. But Jesus again encourages them to trust and not fear, and even makes it possible for one of them -- Peter -- to walk on the water toward him when Peter asks. Peter is able to do so as long as he trusts Jesus, but when he starts to give into fear again, he sinks, and Jesus reaches out his hand to catch himh
