When you Go Through Deep Waters, I Will Be With You

By Emma Koren

In Isaiah 43:2 it says, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.”

This verse means that God will be with you every moment of your life (Matthew 28:20), even when you are going through hard times.

Sometimes it doesn’t seem like He is there. All of us have hardships in life, but God will always there with us through it.

In Jeremiah 29:11 it says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I like this verse because God is telling us that he has a plan for everything, even if we don’t see it.     There are times when we are wondering how God will ever work through this and God shows us that he can work through anything. He loves us very much and has a reason for everything.

In the story of Joseph (Genesis 37:1- 46), it shows how God can work through anything. In this story, Jacob had twelve sons but he loved Joseph more than any of his other sons. Jacob gave Joseph a beautiful coat to show Joseph how much he loved him. When Joseph’s brothers saw the coat they were jealous. So they sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Joseph had a hard life in Egypt but God helped him through the bad things that happened to him and Joseph even became second-in-command. It’s amazing to see how God worked through the bad things that happened to Joseph.

God can do great things to your life too!
