“When you pass through the waters” 
(Isaiah 43:2) 

Are their hearts feeling discouraged 
As they navigate their journey? 
Do the challenges seem to overshadow the light 
More than the bright sunny days? 

It can be challenging to embrace the lessons 
That comes with life’s challenges, 
Yet both sunshine and shadow 
Play essential roles in our growth. 

In the midst of trials, 
A promise emerges— 
Regardless of how deep the waters may rise, 
They will not overwhelm you. 

When you feel worn and weary, 
And your spirit is weighed down, 
When temptations surge like storms, 
Remember,, there is always a refuge available. 

There is support for the tempted 
In the promises found in the Word. 
The Strength of the Spirit 
Will rise up against challenges, 
And no matter how deep the waters are, 
They will not overpower you. 

Let this knowledge guide you, 
Transforming difficulties into stepping stones, 
As you move forward with resilience 
And the assurance of unwavering hope.
