Don't Lose Sight of Your Vision: Lessons from Peter Walking on Water

In this episode of She Excels on Radio Cape Pulpit (7–9 a.m.), host Amy Sonne shares a message titled "Don't Lose Sight of Your Vision," aimed at women who have received visions from the Lord but are struggling to remain focused until fulfilment. Using Matthew 14:22–33 — Jesus walking on water and Peter stepping out of the boat — she draws several lessons: (1) vision will captivate you — what you see calls your attention and changes your direction, as Peter was captivated by Jesus; she quotes Helen Keller that it is better to have no sight than to have sight without vision, and shares her own journey of visions about teaching, being handed a book and writing books and speaking at conferences; (2) vision calls for a response — Peter asked to come and stepped out, so we must respond with a yes and take a first step; (3) vision must be accompanied by a plan (Proverbs 4:25–26) — hope alone is not a strategy, so translate the vision into practical steps, goals, routines and action; (4) what captures your attention influences your progress — the wind and waves were always there, but Peter's focus changed and he began to sink, so keep your eyes on Jesus; and (5) Jesus must remain the source of your strength and direction (Hebrews 12:2) — not the winds, the waves, competing visions or other people's opinions. She notes that "not every opportunity is your assignment," warns against competing with others' races, and reminds listeners that Peter's story did not end with sinking — Jesus caught him. She closes with reflection questions, declarations, practical steps (write the vision and make it plain, Habakkuk 2:2; build a plan; protect what keeps the vision alive; keep going when it is difficult), and a prayer for realignment and help for every woman facing winds and waves.
