"For can there be any situation in which the divine Word, with its counsel, leaves thee at a loss? Is it not also written respecting thee,

'The Lord will not suffer thee to want any good thing?' 'Through much tribulation thou must enter into the kingdom of heaven.' But 'when thou passest through the waters, they shall not overflow thee; and through the fire, the flame shall not kindle upon thee, for the Lord is with thee.' 

It may indeed be the case that men will revile and persecute thee; but if thou faithfully endure, thy reward shall be great. The light shall always rise upon thee after the darkness; and after sorrow, joy shall again visit thy threshold. Nor shall any one be able to snatch thee out of the Lord's hands; but after having fought the good fight, thou shalt finally receive the crown of righteousness, shalt not see death, but pass from death unto life, and triumph eternally."

The Suffering Savior, F.W. Krummacher

But now thus says the Lord, He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

Isaiah 43:1‭-‬3a ESV

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.

Hebrews 6:19 NKJV

Dear Father,

We thank You so much that You are our Hope, the Anchor of our souls, regardless of how we feel or the suffering we are going through. We are overwhelmed at the privilege of being able to come into Your presence through the blood of Jesus. Many are going through deep waters right now Father. Our loved ones who are sick, who have cancer, who are going through various kinds of trials; a world afraid and dealing with this awful virus; our brothers and sisters around the world suffering from sickness & persecution; the works of evil & injustice seemingly on every side. We call out to You, our Sovereign Lord. Make us to know that we are Yours. Make us to trust in You & hold on to You with white knuckle faith. For all those who are hurting, please help them to know Your peace & presence with them and to know Your love for themselves. Thank You that You are with us as we walk through deep waters. 

In Jesus' name,
