Eyes on Jesus Christ

Text: Matthew 14:27-31 (Peter walking on water)

Meditation: In both Christian and earthly life, many things often lead us to doubt Jesus Christ, to take our eyes off Him. However, we must not forget that it is by having faith in Him that we can overcome difficulties and troubled times. For this new year, tell yourself that you will no longer let bad days bring you down. Set a goal to grow in faith, to keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, and to make Him the center of your life.

Plan your time well, and correct your weaknesses from 2024. Pray, sing, work, and learn, but do not take your eyes off Jesus Christ because He is the only one who can hold you firmly and make you succeed.
