Psalm 46:1-3

46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. 2 And so we need not fear even if the world blows up and the mountains crumble into the sea. 3 Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble! TLB

Psalm 46:1-3

GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas,
3 Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! AMP


No matter what is going on around you, there is no need to fear. God is a tried and true force to be reckoned with when it comes to His children. Take a look into the Word of God and see, read, and think about the many times He’s come through for His children. These accounts should serve to help us grow in our expectation and assurance that the same God about whom we read is there to help us when we need Him.

Disaster may strike all around you. Disappointment may pop up at seemingly every turn. You may feel like the promises, dreams, visions, and goals are so far out of your grasp that you will never reach that place you’ve been trying to get to for years. Be encouraged! God is your strength as you continue the journey; He is your refuge when you need to just take time to build yourself up in Him and rest in Him; He is your help to assist you in enduring and staying the course until the end results are yours.

He is not a distant help, but a very present help, a tested help, a tried help, an always present help, and an always ready help for us in our times of need. There is no reason for us to try to handle things ourselves. There is no reason for us to faint and give up. There is no reason for us to feel alone. God is waiting for the cares, concerns, anxiety, and fear to be released to Him. Accept the help that can only come from the Father. He’s ready to do what only He can do. He is always there to help.

Prayer: “Father, I release all of the cares and concerns to you. You are indeed my always present, tried and true help in the time of trouble. Amen”
