Indeed, in the past year, some of Your believing people passed through the waters of affliction and sorrow. But You were with them. Others passed through the rivers of suffering and persecution. But they were not drowned in them. Still others walked through the fire of trouble and tribulation. But they were not scorched by the fire (see Isaiah 43:2). This is because, they are precious in Your sight and that You love them (see Isaiah 43:4) with Your undying and unending love.
