Friend, like you, I’ve faced seasons of discouragement, setbacks, and uncertainty. Psalm 46 has been one of my go-to passages in those times because it reminds me that God is our refuge and strength, not just mine or yours individually, but ours together as His people.

Nearly every night I step out onto my deck and look up at the stars, and I think I can feel the same things David declared in Psalm 8.
