3 Ways You Are Already Walking on Water

By Ganel-Lyn Condie

A boat filled with tired missionaries and a storm: the beginnings of one of the grandest faith-promoting scripture stories of all time.

In her very last public address, Patricia Holland said this in a worldwide devotional given to the young adults of the church: “Simplify! [God] wants us to know that the gospel is beautifully simple and simply beautiful.” She shares the most simple sequence of the gospel is to have faith, hope, and charity. She says, “Our part is to come unto Him in lowliness and simplicity, then we should worry not and fear not.”
