- 0:11Speaker 1: two says fear not.
- 0:12Speaker 2: For I have redeemed you. I have called you by name.
- 0:15Speaker 2: You are mind.
- 0:16Speaker 1: When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you,
- 0:19Speaker 1: and through the rivers.
- 0:20Speaker 2: They shall not overwhelm you. Come on, Jesus.
- 0:24Speaker 1: If you look back over your life, you can probably
- 0:26Speaker 1: remember moments when you honestly wondered.
- 0:29Speaker 2: How am I gonna get through this?
- 0:31Speaker 1: There were situations that felt too heavy, too painful, too
- 0:34Speaker 1: overwhelming to bear. Maybe you went through a divorce, a
- 0:38Speaker 1: financial crisis, a devastating loss, a difficult diagnosi is a
- 0:42Speaker 1: broken relationship, or a.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Season of deep disappointment.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Maybe there were moments when you cried behind closed doors
- 0:50Speaker 1: and wondered if you would ever feel hole again.
- 0:53Speaker 2: But look at you now, You're still standing.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You made it through the waters that were supposed to
- 0:58Speaker 1: drown you, through the rivers there were supposed to overwhelm you.
- 1:03Speaker 1: You survived seasons that you thought would destroy you. And
- 1:07Speaker 1: the reason you're still here is because God was with
- 1:11Speaker 1: you every step of the way. You may have gone
- 1:13Speaker 1: through deep waters, but you also experienced the goodness of God.
- 1:17Speaker 2: He lifted you when you couldn't lift yourself. He strengthened
- 1:21Speaker 2: you when you felt like you were weak.
- 1:23Speaker 1: He protected you when you didn't even know you were
- 1:26Speaker 1: in danger. He healed places in your heart that you
- 1:28Speaker 1: thought would always hurt. He restored what you thought was
- 1:32Speaker 1: permanently broken. See that history with God matters. When another
- 1:37Speaker 1: difficulty comes, you got to remind yourself. I've been here
- 1:40Speaker 1: before and God brought me through. I've cried before and
- 1:43Speaker 1: God gave.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Me joy again.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I've been broken before and God restored me. I face
- 1:48Speaker 1: the impossible before and God made away. So don't you
- 1:52Speaker 1: let today's trouble make you forget yesterday's.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Faithful This come, Oh Jesus. You may be facing deep.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Waters right now, but God has already promise I'll be
- 2:01Speaker 1: with you.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Notice he didn't say you would never go through the waters.
- 2:05Speaker 1: He said you would pass through them. That means the
- 2:08Speaker 1: water is not your permanent destination. The river is not
- 2:11Speaker 1: where your story is. You're just passing through whatever you're
- 2:16Speaker 1: facing today.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Don't you give up.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Don't you let fear convince you that you won't make it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Don't you let the size of the obstacle make you
- 2:23Speaker 1: forget the greatness of your God. You may be in
- 2:26Speaker 1: but you certainly will not break. You may cry, but
- 2:28Speaker 1: you will not stay down. You may walk through the
- 2:31Speaker 1: fire and the flood, but when it's all over, you
- 2:34Speaker 1: will still be standing. Come o, Jesus, the same God
- 2:38Speaker 1: who brought you through before will bring you through again.
- 2:41Speaker 1: So you keep having the faith, You keep having hope,
- 2:43Speaker 1: you keep trusting God.
- 2:45Speaker 2: You come to find an aute quit.
