We tighten, scan, spiral, and reach for control—trying to make uncertainty disappear before we let ourselves rest.

If you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted, Psalm 23 offers a deeply comforting reminder: you are not walking through life alone.Taylor joins Ellen to walk through one of the most beloved passages in Scripture—Psalm 23. From “green pastures” to “the valley of the shadow of death,” Psalm 23 paints a picture of a Shepherd who leads, protects, and stays near even in the hardest seasons of life.Together, they talk about: what it means that the Lord is our Shepherd when life feels out of control  why anxiety often comes from our desire for control and certainty  how God invites us into real rest what it looks like to trust God in “valley seasons” that don't end quickly  how Scripture redefines suffering as a place of God's presence, not absenceFREE DOWNLOAD: All Scriptures mentioned in this episode are available in a beautifully designed printable resource to encourage and strengthen your time in God's Word.

Scripture: Psalm 62:1-7SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!The vineyard goes through many seasons. The fruit—grapes—is harvested 150-180 days after flowering. When we consider Jesus' command, “Abide in Me,” we should reflect on the seasons and how to abide. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.Psalm 62:1-2 The psalmist finds his deepest consolation in one conviction: God is enough. True peace belongs to those who abide in quietness of heart before Him. Resting in God requires waiting — patience is essential. God is both the strength of His people (“rock” and “fortress”) and the source of their salvation.For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken. My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.Psalm 62:5-7 Notice that David doesn't say, “Look to the Lord first, and then see what else might help.” He says, "Trust (wait) in God alone.” Turn away from every other substitute and turn toward the one who is truly sufficient. We do not deny our pain or pretend our circumstances are easy. Rather, we choose, in the middle of the difficulty, to direct our souls toward God rather than away from Him. This is not passive resignation — it is active and intentional surrender. Abiding is an active choice. Song: Rest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur78_jDX7P4&list=RDUr78_jDX7P4&start_radio=1

Today's Scripture: Psalm 121:1–8 When life feels uncertain, your nervous system may start scanning for safety—looking for reassurance, protection, or some solid place to land.

We explore: *Why your nervous system scans for safety *How hypervigilance develops *Why “God watches over you” may take time to feel true in your body *How dwelling on scripture can slowly retrain your soul toward safety Go Deeper: Get my Masterclass "Healing the Wounds that Shape Us" when you preorder The Secure Soul Connect with Dr. Alison on Instagram: @dralisoncook Join 80,000+ Soul Menders in Dr. Alison's free email community for ongoing reflection and support.

God, taking steps of faith can feel awkward but you are cheering me on.Scripture: Psalm 37:23Keywords: Direction; details; delight; Father; bravery.Best of, Summer.

Scripture: Psalm 115

In this peaceful prayer experience we slow down and learn to notice God in the world around us: the light, the air, the quiet, the beauty we often pass by. Inspired by St. Francis' deep love for creation, this prayer gently weaves together Scripture and the Canticle of the Creatures to help you reconnect with God in a simple, grounded way.SCRIPTURE- Psalm 19“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”Canticle of the Creatures by St. Francis of AssisiMost High, all-powerful, good Lord, Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor, and all blessing.Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Sun, who brings the day and gives us light. He is beautiful and radiant with great splendor; of You, Most High, he bears the likeness.Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in heaven You formed them clear and precious and beautiful.Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather, through which You give sustenance to Your creatures.Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water, so useful, humble, precious, and pure.Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom You light the night. He is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs.

God, my words and my actions hurt someone. Help me to make that right.Scripture: Psalm 38:18Keywords:Best of, Summer.

In tonight's prayer and reflection, Greg Grandchamp invites us to reflect on the spiritual discipline of surrender—letting go of our perceived control and resting in the God who sustains. In a world that often teaches us to grasp tighter, God offers something far more powerful: His sustaining presence. In this devotional, we’re reminded that: Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s trust in God’s sovereign care. God doesn’t ask us to cast only the “big” anxieties on Him. He says “all.” The outcome may not change immediately—but you will, as you learn to rely on His strength. If you’re lying awake tonight burdened by what you can’t fix or what tomorrow holds, be encouraged: God invites you to hand it over. And He promises to hold you up. Tonight’s Scripture Psalm 55:22 (NIV) “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you.”
