Row, row, row your boat,Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream

Don’t be afraid”

Whatever your fear – Jesus is near

• He brought me here

• He is praying for me

• He will come to me

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you – Isaiah 43:2a

“Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on

the water”

“Come”

‘Walking on water – dealing with fear’

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink,

cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his

hand and caught him. "You of little faith … why did you doubt?"

Jesus can take away all of our fears
