Week 1 • Day 3

The Lord is my rock, my for- tress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2 NIV

Sometimes life can feel like it’s a little out of control. Friendships get rough. School can be difficult. You’ve had another argument with your parent. Your grades are not what they should be. Times like that make life feel like you’re in the middle of a storm, be- ing tossed all over the place by ev- erything around you. Well, the great news is that we have a God who is as strong as a fortress, which means a strong place of safety. God is our safety in the storms of our lives.

Today, write down some of the things that are causing you stress or anxiety right now—the things that feel like storms. Then, write “God is my fortress” above them to remind you that there is a place you can turn for safety and strength.
