Sometimes the pressures of life can be so overwhelming that we feel like we are drowning. There seems to be no way out of our terrible circumstances. Discouragement and depression follow.

But, God, in His word promises to provide every need we have. Sometimes we have needs that we do not even understand, but God does. It may be the reason our prayers are sometimes answered in a completely different way than we expected.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.”
Isaiah 43:2. NKJV
