Day 1: God Is Our Refuge
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
When dealing with the effects of PTSD, it can feel as though you are constantly surrounded by trouble, fear, or unrest. But Psalm 46:1 reminds us that God is always present, offering refuge and strength. His presence is not distant; it is near and accessible, even in your darkest moments.
God understands your struggles better than anyone else. He is the Creator who knows every detail of your heart and mind. In moments of anxiety or panic, remember that God’s Word calls Him a “refuge.” A refuge is a safe place—a shelter where you are protected from harm. You can run to Him with your fears, your flashbacks, and your pain, trusting that He will embrace you with His peace.
Today, take a moment to meditate on this verse. Write it down, carry it with you, or repeat it in prayer. Let it remind you that God is your strength when you feel weak and your helper when you feel overwhelmed. Trust that He is walking this journey with you and that His power is enough to sustain you.
