Overcoming

I am the one who cut a path through the mighty ocean. ~ Isaiah 43:16 (CEV)

Be brave when you face your enemies. Your courage will show them that they are going to be destroyed, and it will show you that you will be saved. God will make all of this happen... ~ Philippians 1:28 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
The Lord is the one who works things out for us.
PRAYER:
Leading God, you have brought your people through far worse than I am facing today. Why, then, am I afraid? Train my eyes to not see the rising floodwaters around me, but to see the world through the gracious waters of baptism. Give me courage to love those who seem to be my enemies, turning us into friends. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
