Testing in the life of the Christian is inevitable.  We invariably go through dark valleys, rough times of testing and struggles that stretch us beyond what we think we can endure.  But there is One who is with us who will grant counsel and empower us while He is at it.  He is the One who has said, “I will be with you.”  What more could we ask in the tough times?  If He is with us it is enough.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.” Isaiah 43:2 (NASB)
