God is my refuge and strength, right here in this trouble.

A Bible affirmation for dark days, rooted in Psalm 46:1.

For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

Psalm 46:1 · BSB

Reflection

An ever-present help means God isn't on His way. He's already here, in the trouble, not waiting on the other side of it. You don't have to climb out first to reach Him.

A prayer

God, be my refuge and strength today. Help me find You right here in the dark.
