      Introduction

      Jerry has been sitting behind the same desk for the past five years, but this morning is different. No longer is he a marketing representative; today, he’s the company’s new vice president. He has been dreaming about this day for a long time. He’s full of hope, but he’s also rattled by huge doubts. Does he have what it takes to succeed in his new position? What if he fails?

      Just twenty-four hours ago, Karen was listening to her pastor speak about how followers of Jesus should stand up for their faith. It inspired her so much that she resolved to be bolder. Yet during her morning break today, a couple of coworkers were making fun of Christians, and what did she do? She bit her lip and slipped out of the break room.

      Part of Steve wants to be the best husband he can be, and part of him just wants to shut everyone out—especially when he’s tired or has a lot on his mind. And lately that happens far too often. His desire to be a better husband gets overruled by his desire to do his own thing.

      Like Jerry, Karen, and Steve, Peter, the leader of Jesus’s chosen twelve, knew what it was like to struggle, to doubt, to achieve, to fail, to hit the bull’s eye, and to miss the target completely. And in spite of all that, Jesus called him a rock. He was the disciple Jesus often called upon as a spokesman for the others. The only disciple to ever say no to the Lord. The one who defiantly professed he would die for the Master. The disciple who, when Jesus needed support the most, blatantly denied even knowing him.

      Brimming with competing strengths and weaknesses, Simon Peter had a nature much like ours. One minute, he would boldly walk on water. In the next, he would cry out in mortal fear as he sank. While wanting with all his heart to act nobly, he frequently found himself taking the easy way out. At times when he should have remained quiet, he opened his mouth and said things he instantly regretted. He was the spiritual equivalent of someone biting off more than he can chew.

      If you can relate to Peter wanting to do one thing but coming up short, then there’s good news. Just as Jesus never gave up on Peter, he will never give up on you. And just as Peter eventually grew to become the follower of Jesus he desperately wanted to be, God has the same plans for you.

      In the
