Finds Team • 3 Minutes

Have you ever felt like everything is spinning out of control? One day everything is stable, but the next, you’re in the midst of a whirlwind of uncertainty. We all have.

Maybe you’re facing financial struggles, relationship challenges, an unexpected loss, or a season of intense spiritual doubt. Or maybe you feel anxious about an ongoing crisis in the world.

God Is Our Fortress

Here’s the good news: No matter how chaotic life can be, God is always with us. One biblical author shared this about God’s stability:

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62:2 NLT

A fortress is strong, immovable, and consistent. It’s a refuge when times are hard, and a source of courage. God is our fortress.

The world shifts, but God remains steady.

The world shifts, but God remains steady. His love, grace, and truth never change and never fail. Build your life on His unshakable truth. No matter what happens in the world or in our lives, we can always depend on Him even when life feels impossibly difficult.
