Don't run, Draw Closer!
Manage episode 517425775 series 3654918
Raw and heart-forward, this message speaks to the listener who feels spent, scared, or ready to give up. We open our hands, name the weight—exhaustion, drifting faith, even the pull of suicide—and then point to a brighter, truer center: draw closer to God when everything tells you to back away. Not through willpower, but by stepping under His shelter, where mercy meets you and strength returns.
We walk through a simple but fierce rhythm: seek His face, place your battles in His hands, and let God be your strong tower and deliverer. With Psalm 27 as our anchor, we read the text aloud and sit with its promises—light instead of fear, lifted heads in the presence of enemies, songs of joy where dread once lived. We pair these verses with Hebrews 4:16 and Hebrews 7:25 to show why confidence is possible: the throne of grace is open, and Jesus Himself intercedes for those who draw near. Doubt, shame, and self-reliance lose their grip when you know who He is and where you stand.
From there, we get practical. We challenge dark inner scripts—“I can’t,” “I’m not worthy,” “It’s impossible”—and replace them with God’s truth spoken over your life. We encourage steady practices of dwelling in God’s presence, waiting with courage, and letting Scripture shape your inner world until it becomes your reflex in trouble. When the storm rages, you don’t need to perform; you need to abide. God fights for you, sends help you cannot see, and holds you fast when your strength runs out.
If this resonates, save it for your hardest days, share it with someone who needs hope, and subscribe for more soul-level encouragement. Leave a review with your favorite verse from Psalm 27 so we can lift each other up.
