Another week, another assignment.  I will once again include the questions so that you can ponder them yourselves.  

1. Review Matthew 14:22–33. Identify in writing what the reaction of the Apostles was when they first saw the Savior walking on the water toward them.

They were scared!  They thought he was a spirit or a ghost on the water

1. What did Peter’s response indicate about him?

That he had faith in the abilities and power of Christ.  

1. According to Matthew 14:30, why did Peter begin to sink?

He saw the winds, or in other words, he looked away from the Savior. 

1. What did Peter do when he began to sink? What word in the verses describes the expediency or the timing when Jesus responded to Peter’s request?

Peter cried out "Lord, save me." and Jesus immediately saved him.    

1. Read Doctrine and Covenants 88:67. Write a paragraph describing what principle from this verse relates to what Peter did to successfully walk on the water. How can this same principle be applied to your life to assist you in walking over the storms of life? 

The verse states 

And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.   

Peter was completely focused on the Savior when he stepped out and walked on water.  He, quite literally, had his eye single to Christ's glory.  He was able to comprehend, if but for a moment, how to walk on the water with Christ.  It wasn't until he looked away until he fell through the water.  We can conquer our challenges in the same way.  If we look to the Savior in our struggles we will be able to comprehend a way to get through the "storms of life"
