"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you." Is. 43.2
God's promises to the OT nation of Israel about bringing them back from Babylonian captivity were words of comfort. And though the context of this verse has a historical focus the promises are not at all different in nature to the ones offered to the church today and you as a Christian.
When life and living comes at you ("waters, rivers and fire") the presence of the Almighty is an uncomparable resource. Using Isaiah's thoughts we are surely correct in saying that God's people are assured His continual presence regardless the situation because He "created" us (He gave us new life), He "redeemed" us at Calvary and "summons us" by name from the book of life.
