Scripture: “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” Psalm 9:9 (NLT).

Prayer: Father, thank You for being my refuge. When life overwhelms me, remind me to run to You. Guard me and strengthen me as I take shelter in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen and thank God.

Reflection (Self-Check): Am I running to God or distractions when I face trouble?

Application / Coping Skill: Pray Psalm 9:9 aloud when you feel overwhelmed today.

Closing: The Lord is my refuge and stronghold.
