Question

Lately, things have been pretty up-and-down... at times I am calling out to Jesus to tell me to step out of the boat, at others standing on the water and at others I am sinking and crying out for help. I think the difference comes from how we see things.
If I am seeing with "spiritual eyes" and focused on Christ, taking the next step seems so easy, but when I look at what is around me & my circumstances- not looking at God- I begin to sink. So logically the thing to do is to stay focused on God and everything will work out. I guess if I (and Peter) could do that well, I wouldn't be writing this entry, but since that isn't the case here is my question to YOU:

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON GOD? AND HOW DOES THAT WORK IN THE MIDST OF DAILY LIFE?
