Deep Waters

So many of us feel that we are going through deep waters, maybe emotionally, maybe personally, maybe in your work, maybe in frienships, maybe you lost a friend or loved one, or just maybe you are just out of the deep water... Whatever the case, we can all relate to the following email yhat i recieved... God's hand is near you... just take it, dear ppl.



"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." (Is. 43:2)

It requires great faith and a strong character to be able to work through adversity and disappointment. Many seemingly strong people eventually double up under their burdens and break down.

The Lord never promised that our lives would be free from problems just because we choose to serve Him. But He did promise to be there for you at all times and to help you over life's hurdles. Knowing that you don't have to tackle the afflictions of life on your own is a comforting and reassuring thought.

To ensure your peace of mind, it is important to hold on to the truth that Jesus is the living Christ. He comes to live in you through His Holy Spirit, and is closer to you than any one else. Because He was able to rise above the worst that people could do to Him, He is now at your side every step of the way.

When problems mar your view and put you under pressure, turn to Christ. He is you heavenly companion. Overcome your problems in the peace of His presence.

Thank you, omnipotent Father, that I can say with confidence that You are with me day by day!!!
