When we think about finding strength through God, we may often picture moments of hardship or trial in our lives. These situations can come unexpectedly and can feel so heavy. But in those moments, we are encouraged to remember that God is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). He is there to support us when we feel like we cannot stand on our own. We must look to Him with the confidence that He will lift us up, allowing us to face our challenges head-on.
