Be Perseverant

Isaiah 43:2

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned. The flames will not hurt you.

You might feel anxious when your exam is approaching. You can't even fall asleep at night because your minds are drowning in anxiety. Just like someone who is drowning under the wave, you might not even be able to breathe properly due to your anxiety. Be persevering through a wave of anxiety as God has promised that He will keep you from drowning. 

When you hear your dad and mom bickering to one another at home nonstop, it makes you stressed and angry. It might feel like crossing a river, without knowing when you will reach the safe side of the river. Be persevering through the uncertain river of discouragement, as God has promised that He will walk through the river with you till you reach the safe side of the river.

Be persevering through the flames of hardship and challenges in life as God has promised that He keeps you from burning. He will cover you and help you to walk through.

God is always with you so don’t be afraid and always be perseverant. 

Prayer

Dear God, I find refuge under Your wings. Protect me and keep evil far from me. Amen.
