Psalm 46:1 | God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

A dead- end job. Cleaning toilets with children screaming in the other room. Loneliness and aging. Unfulfilled dreams.
Stresses in this imperfect life can crumble us. A listening friend. Authentic community. Older mentors. Do we have them? Maybe.

“In times of trouble” translates as “in tight places.” We feel pressed in on all sides.

And yet there’s a power within that pushes out—inner strength to run to the refuge.

Let’s run to him first.
