Walk on Water: Stepping Out to Trust Our Faithful God
Girls everywhere are battling the storms of life, being tossed and turned by waves of lies, doubt, and fear.
But what if girls really knew the One more powerful than the wind and waves and lived anchored to the unchanging Truth of Scripture?
Walk on Water: Stepping Out to Trust Our Faithful God teaches girls that God is always with them and invites them to trust Him by stepping out in faith. Girls will dive into the Bible to learn how God uses ordinary people to accomplish His plan. They will also be invited to be part of God’s story by living out His Truth through prayer, worship, service, sharing the gospel and their testimonies, and more.
When girls believe that God can be trusted, they will desire to be like Peter (Matthew 14:22-23) and have the courage to trust God by stepping out in faith.
Girls will be able to confidently face life’s storms head-on, guided by God’s Word, and knowing and believing God is with them.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Deuteronomy 7:9
