Podcasts about God is our refuge

Is God one refuge a man runs to after everything else has failed him, or is He the refuge? Ask why the very first word of this Psalm is the name of God, and why a man waits for trouble before he runs there. Read the word "very" set in front of present help, and ask how present that is. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 46:1 — God Is Our Refuge and Strength: A Morning Prayer to Jesus When You Feel Afraid Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Three Prayer Themes: Refuge • Protection • Courage Scripture — Psalm 46:1 (NIV) Before the day begins, perhaps there is already something you are carrying. A fear about your family, a situation you cannot control, or a thought that keeps returning can make the morning feel heavier than it should. So pause with Jesus. Psalm 46 reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. When fear tells us to run in every direction, Jesus invites us to come close. Lord Jesus, be our refuge today. Stand with the person who feels vulnerable. Strengthen the one who feels overwhelmed. Give courage to anyone facing a difficult conversation, uncertain news or a responsibility that feels too large. Help us remember that Your presence is stronger than the fear in front of us. We pray for the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Watch over families, communities and those facing uncertainty. We remember Singapore, Japan and South Africa. Bring protection, wisdom and peace to those beginning their day. Holy Spirit, turn our attention toward Jesus whenever fear tries to take over. Señor Jesús, eres nuestro refugio. Senhor Jesus, Tu és o nosso refúgio. Panginoong Jesus, Ikaw ang aming kanlungan. Lord, we place this day into Your hands. We may not know what will happen, but we know where we can run. Jesus is our refuge. Jesus is our strength. So we can take the next step with courage. And as we walk into this day, keep our hearts close to You, ready not only to trust Your protection, but to listen for Your wisdom. Amen. Blessing: May Jesus keep you close to Him, be your refuge in every difficulty and give you courage and peace throughout this day.

God is Our Refuge and Strength: 150 Devotionals Through the Psalms releases in October. Through brief, practical expositions of all 150 psalms, this volume proclaims, explains, and applies each one in light of the New Testament and the finished work of Jesus Christ the Lord. These reflections are designed to enlighten the mind, warm the heart, strengthen the hands, point to the Saviour, and encourage the soul. In this Friday Extra we discuss the book with its authors, William Boekestein and Rob Ventura. Among other things we ask the following:  — Why write another book on the Psalms?  — Why should we seek greater familiarity with this biblical book?  — What do we do with the 'imprecatory Psalms'?  — How can we read a Psalm with profit when we don't feel like we are connecting with it on an emotional level?   Join the Waitlist:  https://banneroftruth.org/store/devotional-books/god-is-our-refuge-and-strength/ 

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 46:1 — God Is Our Refuge and Strength: A Morning Prayer for Courage Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Three Prayer Themes: God's Presence • Refuge • Courage Scripture — Psalm 46:1 (NIV) “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” PASTORAL PRAYER Before the day begins asking things of you, come quietly to Jesus. Perhaps you have woken with concerns already waiting for you. Maybe there is something ahead that you would rather avoid, or something behind you that has followed you into this morning. Whatever you are carrying, you can bring it into the presence of God. Psalm 46 says that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Notice those words: ever-present. He is not distant from the ordinary pressures of your life. Jesus meets you here, in this morning, before you know what the day will bring. Lord, we place this day into Your hands. Be our refuge when we feel exposed, our strength when we feel weak, and our help when we do not know what to do. We pray for India, Italy and Bahrain, asking You to bring peace and protection to families and communities. We remember Singapore, Japan and South Africa, asking You to strengthen those who are beginning their day with burdens of their own. Holy Spirit, settle our hearts and help us become aware of God's presence. Señor Jesús, sé nuestro refugio. Senhor Jesus, sê a nossa força. Panginoong Jesus, samahan Mo kami. We do not need to borrow courage from tomorrow. We need grace for today. So, Jesus, walk with us into this day. When trouble comes, remind us where our refuge is. When fear rises, remind us who is beside us. God is our refuge. God is our strength. And that is enough to begin. Amen. Blessing: May the Lord be your refuge today, strengthen you in every difficulty and fill your heart with courage as you walk with Jesus.

Bad things happen in this life. Awful, heartwrenching, unbelievably painful things. Who do we turn to when we're caught up in a dark season? Where does our help come from? We turn to the One who calls us to Himself. Our help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth. Our Sovereign God bends His ear to us and calls us to take refuge in Him. We only need to be still and wait and watch in confidence that God will work it out. It is natural to wrestle with the problem of evil during times of trouble, but we can rest in God's goodness and trust Him in His sovereignty and love for us.

This Sunday, we dive into Psalm 61 - What do we do when we feel far from God? Psalm 61 reminds us that God is our refuge and leads us from the ends of the earth into His presence. Through Jesus, the Rock that is higher than us, we can find true rest, peace, and salvation—and we’re invited to help others find the same.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 46:1 (NIV) — God Is Our Refuge and Strength When Life Feels Overwhelming Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Before the day gets busy, take a moment and breathe. Perhaps you have woken up already thinking about everything waiting for you today. There may be decisions to make, people to care for, bills to deal with, conversations you are not looking forward to, or simply that feeling that there is too much to carry. But before you step into this day, remember that you do not have to face it alone. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Father, this morning we come to You just as we are. For the person who woke up worried, be their refuge. For the person carrying something they have not been able to tell anyone else, remind them that You already know. And for the person who feels they have very little strength left, meet them with Your strength today. Lord Jesus, we bring before You people and communities across Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China, India and Australia. Meet people in their homes, families, workplaces and communities. Bring peace where there is uncertainty, wisdom where decisions are difficult, protection where people feel vulnerable, and hope where hearts have become tired. Let Your presence reach people who may never hear our voices but are known and loved by You. Holy Spirit, help us not to borrow tomorrow's troubles before today has even begun. Give us grace for this day, strength for this moment and faith for the next step. We do not need to understand everything before we trust You. When fear rises, help us turn towards Jesus. When we feel overwhelmed, remind us where our help comes from. And when we cannot see what lies ahead, help us walk forward knowing that God is already there. Fear will not win, because God is our refuge and strength. Father, cover us today, hold our families, guide our steps and keep our hearts close to Jesus. We begin this day with You, and we trust You with whatever comes. Amen. Blessing: Que Dios sea tu refugio y tu fuerza hoy. Que la paz de Cristo guarde tu corazón. Que Deus seja seu refúgio e sua força hoje. Que a paz de Cristo guarde o seu coração. Nawa'y ang Diyos ang maging kanlungan at lakas mo ngayon, at nawa'y ingatan ng kapayapaan ni Cristo ang iyong puso.

What does it look like to find solid ground when everything around us feels unstable? Psalm 46 offers us something remarkable: not a replay of what went wrong, but what we might call an eternal pre-play, a forward-looking declaration of what is ultimately true and real. In a world saturated with misinformation, fear-driven headlines, and digital illusions, this ancient psalm cuts through the noise and brings us back to the most foundational reality of all: God is. Not just that God exists in some abstract sense, but that he is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help in times of trouble. The psalm moves through three powerful movements: the promise of God's protection, the power of God over every earthly and supernatural force, and the presence of God among his people. Together, these truths form something like a divine warranty, not a promise that life will be trouble-free, but a promise that when trouble comes, we are covered. The call at the heart of this psalm is both simple and profound: reject fear, remember God's power, and remain in his presence. When we do, we discover that being still is not passive resignation but an act of bold, confident trust in the one who holds all things together.Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@CelebrateChurchCelebrate Church is led by Pastor Noah Rollins.

Let. Love. Live

The psalmist of Psalm 46 proclaims that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” so His people need not fear even under the most catastrophic circumstances. This psalm contrasts the chaos and raging of the nations during the time of Tribulation judgment with the glorious hope of the Millennial Kingdom. Concluding with God's command to “Be still, and know that I am God”—as He will be exalted among the nations—the psalm affirms that “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge,” bringing comfort and peace to believers who trust in Him amid any trouble. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/408-god-is-our-refuge-and-strength/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NEXanfoXwnc Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-402-410/?attribute_pa_episode=408-god-is-our-refuge-and-strength Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-comfort-from-above/

In this encouraging message, he reminds us that even when our lives or the world around us feels chaotic and uncertain, God remains sovereign. He is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help in times of trouble. Take a listen as we continue "Praying through the Psalms".

Pastor Neil Armstrong Assistant Pastor Summer In The Psalms Series July 19, 2026 AM

Most of us believe God is in control, but when life gets hard, our worry tells a different story. In this message from Psalm 46, we look at how King Hezekiah faced an impossible situation and discovered that God is our refuge, our source, and our strength. If you're in a season where the chaos feels louder than your faith, this one is for you.

Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen shares biblical truth that will bring hope and comfort in these uncertain days. May we draw closer to God through this time and impact those around us for eternity. https://fallsbaptist.org https://baptistcollege.org https://www.theegeneration.org https://ontovictorypress.com If you'd like to support this ministry - https://fallsbaptist.org/give/

Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray.

If today has felt heavier than you imagined, if you're carrying concerns for your family, your health, your work or your future, let's pause together and bring those burdens into the presence of God. We were never meant to carry them alone. Psalm 46:1 (NIV) “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Those words have strengthened God's people for generations. They remind us that our refuge is not found in having every answer or controlling every circumstance. Our refuge is found in the living God, who remains close when life feels uncertain and whose strength never runs dry. When we cannot hold everything together, He faithfully holds us. Father, thank You for being our refuge throughout this day. Thank You for every unseen way You have protected us, sustained us and remained faithful even when we have been unaware of Your quiet work. Lord Jesus, we place every burden into Your loving hands. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who are grieving, strength to those who feel exhausted and renewed hope to everyone facing tomorrow with uncertainty. Teach us to leave our worries with You and to rest in the confidence of Your unfailing care. Holy Spirit, settle every anxious heart, renew our minds and help us finish this day trusting that Your presence is greater than every problem we have faced.

A sermon from Psalm 46 preached on June 14, 2026, by Nathan Lugbill. Microphone and recording issues are part of life – God's Word will still stand! 

Northwest Bible Church - June 14, 2026 - Psalms - Daniel Noren Psalm 16:1-11 True Joy and Refuge Intro Where do you flee when life is hard? Where is your refuge, security, and joy? A. FLEE TO AND REJOICE IN GOD, THE SOURCE OF JOY (Psalm 16:1-4). 1. David is surrounded by enemies yet takes refuge in God. 2. We also face death, suffering, worry, sin, and uncertainty. 3. False refuges and idols of the heart promise security but multiply sorrows. 4. Even good gifts can become idols when they replace God. 5. God alone is the firm foundation and the source of all good. 6. Joy in God also produces delight in God's people. B. DISCOVER AND REJOICE IN GOD AS YOUR INHERITANCE (Psalm 16:5-7). 1. The Lord is our chosen portion and our cup. 2. Like the Levites, our true inheritance is ultimately God Himself. 3. We are not promised an easy life, but we are promised Him. 4. “I have God and I have enough.” 5. God gives counsel through His word and grows our joy in Him. C. REST AND REJOICE IN GOD FOREVER (Psalm 16:8-11). 1. Fix your gaze on the Lord and you will not be shaken. Hebrews 12:2. 2. Our security is not in circumstances but in God's presence and promises. 3. Psalm 16 points beyond David to the true and better David, Jesus Christ. 4. Acts 2:23-33 shows Psalm 16 fulfilled in Christ's resurrection. 5. In Christ there is fullness of joy, lasting hope, and eternal security. Conclusion Flee to God, discover God as your inheritance, and rest in Him forever. In Jesus Christ there is true joy, real refuge, and pleasures forevermore.

God is Our Refuge!

In a world where words can wound and relationships can fracture, we discover a timeless truth from Psalm 31: God is our refuge. This exploration takes us deep into David's experience of betrayal, pursuit, and pain—feelings we know all too well in our own lives. Whether it's hurtful words from friends, attacks on social media, or the weight of others' judgments, we face a critical choice in our response. The message challenges us to examine where we truly run when life gets hard. Do we numb ourselves with distractions, shopping, work, or other temporary escapes? Or do we pour out our hearts to the One who is strong enough to hold our pain? The distinction between venting in anger and trusting God with our exhaustion becomes clear through Elijah's story—it's in that place of surrender, not fury, where we actually find refuge. Most radically, we're called to do nothing in our own defense, trusting God's reputation over our own. Jesus modeled this perfectly, remaining silent before His accusers and ultimately declaring from the cross, 'Into your hands I commit my spirit'—a direct quote from Psalm 31. We're invited to ground ourselves in this truth: that finding refuge in God means trusting Him enough to be gut-wrenchingly honest while releasing our need to fight back.

A sermon from Ted Powers on Psalm 46

In this episode, Bobby Bosler reflects on Psalm 46:1 and the powerful truth that God is “a very present help in trouble.” Drawing from personal Bible study and a simple illustration from everyday life, he explains how easy it is to think of God as distant when we face pressure, weakness, or distress. Yet Scripture reveals that God is not merely nearby—He is right within reach, ready to be our refuge, our strength, and the help we need in every situation. Topics Discussed Psalm 46:1 and the three descriptions of God: refuge, strength, and help What it means for God to be a refuge or safe place The different dimensions of strength God provides: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual The meaning of “help in trouble” and the kinds of distress people experience The significance of the phrase “very present help” in the Hebrew text How believers can mistakenly view God as distant in times of difficulty A practical illustration showing the difference between something being nearby and being within reach Learning to depend on God right where you are Key Takeaways God is a safe place where believers can find security and protection. The Lord provides strength for every area of life, including mental and emotional strain. In every distress or difficulty, the ultimate need is not a new solution but God Himself. Psalm 46 teaches that God is not merely close to us—He is very present, accessible, and ready to help. Believers can depend on God immediately, because He is always right within reach.

This week we got to hear from one of our Directional Leadership Team members, Bjorn Hanson. Bjorn walked us through Psalm 91 as we focused on God being our refuge.

Just as parts of the Psalms, such as  22 v.1 and 16 v,10,11 foreshadowed events and sayings in the mortal life of our Lord, so Psalms 46 and 47 we read today can be seen as portraying the awesome events at and after the time of his second coming.   The overview of those events which these Psalms provide, show how vital it will be for us to possess and “to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end … imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” [Heb.6 v.11,12]        The opening of Psalm 46 should be memorized and become part of our daily thoughts; “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way … though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble …” [v.1-3] “The nations rage, the kingdoms totter …” [v.6]  But in the midst of this awesome upheaval , “… the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High (is seen) … God will help her when morning dawns.” [v.4,5]      Until that dawning, the darkness of human depravity and folly will dominate life on earth.  But with the dawning to a new day which the return of Christ will bring will come a sober reflection on God's judgments:  “Come behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth, He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth …” [v.8,9]  How wonderful!  How awesome!   But as it becomes more and more evident that God's judgments are starting today how vital it will be that “God is our refuge and strength”  and for us to “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations …” [v.10]     At that time, may we, by God's grace, be part of the action described in Psalm 47 “ Clap your hands, all peoples!  Shout to God with loud songs of joy!  For the LORD, the Most High is to be feared, a great king over the earth.  He subdued peoples under us, and nations …” [v.1-3]   If God is truly our refuge now – then, by his grace, that will be our experience.
