Is 43:2 NKJV When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When
you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

It is no surprise that life is difficult.  There are things that catch us off guard, and sometimes drive us to our knees.  These storms
can be storms of doubt, fear, rejection, uncertainty, and other kinds of storms that bring fear into our life.  However, there is one
positive aspect about each storm that we face, and that is God is with us, no matter where we go.

God told his people Israel that even when they pass through the waters he would be with them.  This is true for the child of God
also.  When we pass through our waters, God is with us.  When we pass through our fiery trials, God is with us, and when we walk
through our fiery furnace, God is with us, and when we walk through the deep dark valleys, even then He is with us.  God has not
made us to face life alone.  That is not his will and he is not that kind of God.  God desires that we reach out to him, so that he can
guide us through our storms.  God did not promise that we would like all that we go through.  But, he did promise that he would go
through with us, and that he would always be there, no matter what.
