Psalms is a divine collection of songs and poetry that leads us to a place of trust and refuge. There is a wealth of imagery and testimony related to trusting God. When times are hard and we feel unsure, there is safety and assurance in God.
Whatever our current challenges in life, there is relief when we put our trust in the Lord. God is faithful, all-powerful, and always wins the battle. There is no greater Savior.
Take your time as you read each Psalm. Speak each one into the atmosphere. Breathe in every word of truth and promise and God’s grace.
There will likely be one or more verses that resonate with your heart. Write it down, take a screenshot, keep it close to your heart.
Then take time throughout your week to revisit God’s Word and meditate on His promises.
Be encouraged by the inspired Word of God. He will never leave you or forsake you. He can not fail.
