Doubt

Matthew 14:30 - But seeing the wind, he became afraid and began to sink, crying out, "Lord, save me!"

This is me with regard to doing a PhD. I see that I am doing it or I feel energized and then I go back to my old concept of self - I cannot do it. THis is what Peter does. He sees what he is doing and his brain cannot compute this new reality. It is too foreign. He made a good start only to let his own doubt get in the way.

Doubt is neither good nor bad; it depends on how we use it. A good question to ask is why. Why are we doubting? and what are we doubting? Was Peter doubting himself or God or both?
