Monday Encouragement Devotional from Pastors.com
“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.”

Isaiah 43:2 (NLT)

Ministry is often about walking through stressful, deep waters, and you may feel like you’re going through them alone.

But you’re not alone! God sees what you’re going through, and he cares about what you’re going through. He’s right beside you, no matter the situation or circumstances you may be facing.

When you know God is near, you have nothing to fear. No matter what you face in the future, you will never face it alone. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 says, “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you” (NLT).

Satan will plant all kinds of seeds of doubt and fear in your mind, like, “What if I’m not enough for this period of our church’s story?” or “What if I’m just burnt out?” And you will undoubtedly face anxiety from other sources, too.

Give those fears to Jesus and remember God promised to never abandon you. You don’t have to know what the future holds for you, your family, or your church because you know who holds the future. 

God promises, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you” (Isaiah 43:2 NLT). 

You can trust he’ll keep that promise.
