"When Thou Passest Through the Waters"

Perhaps someone reading this today is going through a great trial or heartache.  May I encourage you to take it to Jesus -- He understands like no one else can, and it is a blessed privilege to kneel in His Presence and pour out your heart to Him. 
I trust this poem by an unknown Author will be a blessing and encouragement to you.

"Is there any heart discouraged as it journeys on its way?  Does there seem to be more darkness than there is of sunny days?
 Oh, it's hard to learn the lesson, as we pass beneath the rod, that the sunshine and the shadow serve alike the will of God;
 But there comes a word of promise, like the promise in the bow -- that however deep the waters, they shall never overflow.

 When the flesh is worn and weary, and the spirit is depressed, and temptations sweep upon it like a storm on ocean's breast,
 There's a haven ever open for the tempest-driven bird, there's a shelter for the tempted in the promise of the Word;
 For the standard of the Spirit shall be raised against the foe, and however deep the waters, they shall never overflow.

When a sorrow comes upon you that no other soul can share, and the burden seems too heavy for the human heart to bear;
 There is One whose grace can comfort if you'll give Him an abode, there's a Burden-Bearer ready if you'll trust Him with your load;
 For the precious promise reaches to the depths of human woe, that however deep the waters, they shall never overflow.

 When the sands of life are ebbing, and I near the other side -- I will reach my hand to Jesus and in His bosom I shall hide,
 And 'twill only be a moment till I reach the other side; it is then the fullest meaning of the promise I shall know:
 When thou passest through the waters, they shall never overflow."

     "Fear thou not; for I am with thee:  be not dismayed; for I am thy God:  I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."  Isaiah 41:10
