"You will not be overcome."
Julian of Norwich
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you."
Isaiah 43:2
Whatever we face, we have the Overcomer inside us and we will make it through! The floods won't wash us away, the fires won't burn us. The troubles in this world are many, but He has already overcome this world! It is not up to us to overcome, be strong, act fearlessly, or even remain calm and faithful. He is the One taking care of it all. He is right here with us, whether we feel His presence or not. It's up to Him to get us through, and so the victory is assured..in fact, in Him it's already won!
A thought: No problem can defeat me because no problem can defeat Jesus who is in me.
