Matthew 16:7-8 - And the disciples discussed among themselves saying that we have not bread. And Jesus knowing this said, "Why do you discuss among yourselves saying "we have no bread?"
The disciples are focused on their earthly needs, regardless of the miracle they have just witnessed. Changing our mindset is difficult and requires intentional desire to change. It does not just happen. When we pray for peace or for more serenity, we are required to strive to act peacefully and/or serenely ourselves. If we cannot display these qualities in our own lives, we cannot really expect others to display them either.
For me, this includes noticing the times I am judgmental of Peter and others. It requires intentionally accepting what they say.
