Do you have such a faith?
If not how would you acquire it?
From the New Jerusalem Bible
Matthew 14: 22. And at once he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he sent the crowds away.
23. After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,
24. While the boat, by now some furlongs from land, was hard pressed by rough waves, for there was a head-wind.
25. In the fourth watch of the night he came towards them, walking on the sea,
26. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. "It is a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
27. But at once Jesus called out to them, saying, "Courage! It's me! Don't be afraid."
28. It was Peter who answered. "Lord," he said, "if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water."
29. Jesus said, "Come." Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water,
30. But then noticing the wind, he took fright and began to sink. "Lord," he cried, "save me!"
31. Jesus put out his hand at once and held him. "You have so little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
32. And as they got into the boat the wind dropped.
33. The men in the boat bowed down before him and said, "Truly, you are the Son of God."

You know, this one is one that I need to practice daily! There are many situations in my life that Jesus asks me to "walk on the water to Him." Currently, He is asking me to step out of my comfort zone on a few things and trust Him to get me safely on the other side. I realize this sounds vague, but I'm still unfolding all that He is asking me to trust Him in right now.
Yes, I think I have this kind of faith. I have trusted Him with many things and He has given me victory.

I think that the waves of the storm are subsiding as I trust Him. Either that or I just don't notice them as much when my eyes are on Him.

It really is interesting though, I can see how I started walking to Him on something and then started to look at my surroundings and started to sink. That's when I cry out to Jesus and He lifts me back up to Him.
