Anytime we forget where we have seen God deliver us from, anxiety and fear take advantage. After Jesus fed the 5,000 (which isn't counting children and women, so imagine it was a lot more), the word says there were 12 baskets left over, and the 12 disciples had them. Later, we read that night they were in a boat without Jesus, and a storm was all around them, and then they saw Jesus walking on water. He said do not fear. It is me. Peter boldly says if it is you, tell me to meet you on the water, and Jesus calls Peter. Peter starts to walk on water, notices the waves and storms around him, and begins to sink. Jesus rescues him and says you of little faith, why did you doubt me.
Immediately, all they had seen was forgotten, and Peters's circumstances began to overwhelm him to the point of near death. God, in His mercy, rescues him even when Peter loses faith.
