“When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom;
I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you.”

Isaiah 43:2-4 NLT

Theme: "Be Encouraged; you shall LIVE & not die"

Heavenly Father, I give you all the glory, honor and praise. I am eternally grateful that you are so mindful of me in everything that concerns me. You take care of me, my family and my friends. You are a good, good Father.

The word assures me no matter what I go through, you are right there with me. If I go into deep waters they will not overtake me and I will not drown. If I go through the fires and struggles of life I will not burn or be consumed by the fire. The word assures me that you O Lord will save me. You gave Your one and only begotten Son to die in exchange for my sins to give me life and eternal freedom. You are the lover of my soul and I am honored to call you my Abba Father.

Father, I pray that you encourage each and every person going through deep waters. Reassure them that you will not let the waters overtake them. Stretch out your arm and pull them into safety. Breathe life into all the dead situations and restore them back to you.

Minister to each person going through the fire and struggles of life and let them know YOU are the only answer. Let them see the fourth man in the furnace; while the flames are blazing, they will not burn nor perish in the fire, because you are their shield from the flames. Envelop each with your love and be their Savior as you have saved me.

Father, I know you love each of us and it is your desire that we all have life and have it more abundantly. So, I turn each over to you and I claim them for your glory. In the loving name of Jesus I pray.

Amen
