1. Read Matthew 14:22-36. These verses tell us that when his disciples where in the boat Jesus went to the mountains to pray. From the mountains, Jesus would have been able to see all of the lake and able to see the men the entire time.  Does it change your perspective on the passage to know that from Jesus’ vantage point on the mountain top he would have been able to keep his disciples in view the entire time during the storm?

2. In this passage, when Jesus appears to the disciples while walking on the water, they are unsure if it is really him. Describe a time in your life when God was there in a way or manor that you did not expect or looking for.
