When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
Isaiah 43:2 The Message
I find a lot of comfort in these words. God will not let go of us.
He will never leave us nor forsake us.
But, I’ll be honest, I wish this verse said something more like—you won’t get in over your head, you won’t face rough waters, you won’t feel like you’re in the flames.
We don’t get a free pass from suffering. But we do get the assurance that God will help us through whatever comes.
This is why Jesus reminds us, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
In this meditation, you will be guided to name a situation that is currently causing you anxiety. Then, with the Spirit, you will be guided to notice how God is with you in the midst of whatever you are facing. As you are comforted with this truth, I pray you will exchange your current fear or anxiety for the peace God is offering.

The whole meditation text is as follows:
Isaiah 43:1-3, Christian Standard Bible
Now this is what the Lord says—
…
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you
and the rivers will not overwhelm you,
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be scorched
and the flame will not burn you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior.

A Prayer to Be Less Sad Today - Your Daily Prayer - September 7
The greatest cure and medicine for sadness and all the feelings it may lead to is the Word of God. The Word of God seeps into dry and lonely places and fills them. The more you drink from the Word of God and even digest it, the more your soul is saturated, and the more your sadness leaves you.
