When I could not stand

There are moments in every disciple's journey when faith feels strong enough to walk on water. And there are moments when the wind grows fierce, fear takes hold, and we begin to sink beneath the weight of our doubts.

"When I Could Not Stand" captures the perspective of Peter in the very instant he realizes he can no longer do it alone. The waves rise around him, his confidence gives way to fear, and the water begins to pull him under. Yet before he can be overcome, the Savior reaches out His hand.

This artwork is not merely about Peter's failure—it is about Christ's faithfulness.

Though Peter's focus wavered, the Savior never looked away. Though Peter began to sink, the Savior was already close enough to save him. In one of the most tender moments recorded in scripture, Jesus immediately stretched forth His hand and caught him.

For many of us, the story feels deeply personal. We know what it is like to face storms we cannot overcome, burdens we cannot carry, and circumstances that leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsteady. Yet Peter's experience reminds us that our moments of weakness do not place us beyond the Savior's reach.

This piece serves as a reminder that when our strength fails, His does not. When our faith falters, His hand remains extended. And when we find ourselves unable to stand on our own, Jesus Christ is still able to lift us above the waves.
