Finding our way through deep waters

When troubles seem to overwhelm us, God will always lead us to higher ground.

Brian E. Zavitz

Deep waters. We all go through them at one time or another—those experiences that threaten to submerge or even drown us with their fury or woe. It may be waves of sickness or misfortune, or maybe an ocean of sorrows. But whatever the nature of the deep waters we find ourselves going through, usually our soul yearns for one thing above all—for an end to the suffering.

Here Christian Science holds out hope, like a hand held out to someone drowning. "Hold tight," it says. "I'll save you!" God's law is always present to free us from pain or loss, to lift us up and out of the waves, above the storm and darkness, to a calm place on the rock of Truth, warmed by the sun of Love.
