Affliction Is Not Abandonment
Scripture
“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee.” — Isaiah 43:2
Personal Reflection
God never promised I would avoid the waters — only that I would not pass through alone.
Contemplation
Which hardship most tempts me to doubt God’s nearness?
Puritan Quote
Richard Sibbes wrote, “God’s children are often under the lash, but never out of His hand.”
Prayer
Lord, give me faith to feel Your presence especially when comfort withdraws.
Application
Call someone enduring affliction and remind them: “You are not alone.”
