ABIDING - Day 10 (On Rising Above)
Scripture of the Day: Psalm 27:1–8
Series Theme: Abiding: Planted and Thriving in Busy Seasons
Have you ever faced conflict so loud it drowned out your peace?
Maybe it wasn’t war like David faced but the noise of criticism, comparison, or daily pressure that made you question your strength, your security, or even your identity.
Can you relate?
In today’s episode of Wake Up Loved, we enter David’s battle prayer in Psalm 27 in a moment of danger, doubt, and determination. Through his words, we uncover a truth for our own lives: that abiding with God lifts us above the noise.
If you’ve ever struggled to find peace in the middle of tension, whether it stem from others, your own thoughts, or life’s daily demands, this quiet time episode will refocus your heart on the One who sees you, seeks you, and secures you.
