God’s Protection and Rescue

When you are overwhelmed beyond measure, what is it that you need? When the turbulent and troubled waters of life swell and threaten to overwhelm you in their torrent, who protects you? When the fiery trials threaten to consume, who is your rescuer?
God is our protector. God is with us when we are overwhelmed. God is with us in our troubles and hardships. God is our rescuer.
God spoke through the Prophet Isaiah, saying, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2, ESV).
We can trust that God is with us in the torrential and troubled waters of life. We can count on God when we are battered by the waves of hardship and grief. We will be protected and saved from the the rushing rivers of sorrow that threaten to sweep us away. We can walk through the fiery trials and not be consumed because God is our protector and rescuer.
May we rest in the assurance of God’s presence and power to protect and rescue us, and may we live lives of obedient endurance as we trust in him.
A Prayer for the Saturday after the Day of Pentecost: “Grant, O Lord, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by your providence, that your Church may joyfully serve you in quiet confidence and godly peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
