Some days the storms of life seem like they will never end. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and find ourselves battling feelings of hopelessness and fear and wonder if we can continue persevering, when the onslaught of what we're facing is relentless. Some bad days turn into weeks or months and we cry 'Why, Lord?' We cry out, scared that we cannot stay afloat, as wave after wave breaks over us. It's during these times that we need to press in and lean into The Lord. To remind ourselves of His promises and goodness! To cling to verses that bring strength, hope and peace that the waters will not sweep over us, reminding us we will not drown. He is our Refuge and our Rock! He is our fortress and stronghold, our very present help in times of trouble! He will never forsake us, never leave us, He is intimately aware of everything we face and He loves us. Nothing can separate us from His love for us.
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. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Isaiah 43:2-3a ☕️

Amein! Hardships, persecutions, afflictions - we go thru them & if the Lord, Abba Yah takes us to them, He will take us "thru" them. Abba bless & guard you, Amein - Whatever it takes for us to be not only "hearers" of the Word, but "does"! Time is now very short!
