For me when I hear this song, it's about overcoming anxiety, hesitation, and worry, and taking hope in the Truth that God is much more powerful than our defaults and that with Him we are invincible. We are invincible because the life we live is for Jesus, and He will allow us to overcome anything that comes in our way.
The first verse deals with the anxiety of Peter, one of Jesus' 12 disciples, when he was stepping out of the boat during the storm to where Jesus was. The second verse is the story of David and Goliath. I have no clue what the "soar with the wings of eagles" refer to, but I like it. Reminds me of that Greek (Roman?) mythology about the person who makes his own wings but ends up getting too close to the sun and having his wings melt. Except, in this song, the ending is positive. It also reminds me of the verse in Isaiah 40 when it says "They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow tired, they will walk and not be faint."
This song reminds me not to make decisions based on fear. Instead, I should make decisions based on what I know God wants for my life and what He is telling me to do. It helps me find the courage to say what I need to say, to go where I need to go, and do what I need to do. Even when my emotions/thoughts are telling me to stay safe and not go out of my comfort zone. When all I want to do is hide and not do what I know to be right even when that is...

I used it for encouragemenet for when I was going through college with a new baby, a new marriage and everything seemed impossible. It helped me see through all the "things" that were happening and focus in on whatever happens if I do my part that God will help me rise above everything. "And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down".
I was able to work through this time and get grades that were better than when I was single and had no baby.
That the fact that some things that we are going through seem impossible like me thinking "I don't know how God is going to work this one out" but it helped me remember that with God he has the perfect answer to our problems and yes he can work out situations that seem overwelming and impossible for us. "But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground."
