Distracted

Recently I started a 6th grade boys small group.  We meet at the new Dairy Queen on hwy 248 in Branson.  This is a great location because there is nobody in the store at 7 o’clock in the morning and it is close to the intermediate school.  The other day we were talking about humility and resigning as the CEO of your life.  Out of nowhere the stores music started playing the loudest, most annoying country song that I have ever heard.  The boys got distracted and started to laugh uncontrollably.  From that moment I could not regain their attention back.
​That incident reminded me about our walk with Christ, and how we can sometimes get distracted. Lets take a look at what happened to Peter when he was asked by Jesus to walk to him on water.  Matt 14:25…

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It's a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.  
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.”
“Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said.  
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
We need to ask Jesus for help when we feel like we are sliding off the path that leads to an awesome relationship.
