Episode When You’re Trying to Control What You Can’t Control
Today's Scripture: Psalm 46:1–7
When life feels unsteady, our bodies often know before our minds do. We tighten, scan, spiral, and reach for control—trying to make uncertainty disappear before we let ourselves rest. Today’s episode walks through Psalm 46 and the promise that God is not our escape from trouble, but our ever-present help in trouble. In this episode, we explore:
*The difference between spiritual grounding and spiritual bypassing
*What Psalm 46 teaches us about refuge, strength, and control
*How to return to God’s presence when life feels unstable
*One small embodied practice for finding steadiness today
