This document discusses how God is a refuge, strength, and source of peace and power according to several Bible passages. It references Psalms and other books that describe God protecting cities and ending wars, as well as God dwelling among his people as their fortress. The document encourages being still and knowing that God is God, trusting in him rather than self-help, and finding intimacy with God during times of trouble.

Psalm 46

and strength, always ready to help
in times of trouble. 2So we will not

the mountains crumble into the
sea. NLT

this so that you may have peace
in me. Here on earth you will
have many trials and sorrows.

4. 2 Cor 12:7-10 – even though I
have received such wonderful
revelations from God. So to keep
me from becoming proud, I was
given a thorn in my flesh, a
messenger from Satan to
torment me and keep me from
becoming proud.

5. 8Three different times I begged
the Lord to take it away. 9Each
time he said, “My grace is all you
need. My power works best in
weakness.” So now I am glad to
boast about my weaknesses, so
that the power of Christ can work
through me.

6. 10That’s why I take pleasure in
my weaknesses, and in the
insults, hardships, persecutions,
and troubles that I suffer for
Christ. For when I am weak, then
I am strong. NLT

angel showed me a river with the
water of life, clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God
and of the Lamb. NLT

9. Psalm 46:5-9 – God dwells in that
city; it cannot be destroyed. From
the very break of day, God will
protect it. 6The nations are in
chaos, and their kingdoms
crumble! God’s voice thunders,
and the earth melts!

10. 7The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is
here among us; the God of Israel
is our fortress. 8Come, see the
glorious works of the Lord: See
how he brings destruction upon
the world.

11. 9He causes wars to end through-
out the earth. He breaks the bow
and snaps the spear; he burns the
shields with fire. NLT

12. 2 Kings 19:34-36 – For my own
honor and for the sake of my
servant David, I will defend this
city and protect it.” 35That night the
angel of the Lord went out to the
Assyrian camp and killed 185,000
Assyrian soldiers.

13. When the surviving Assyrians
woke up the next morning, they
found corpses everywhere. 36Then
King Sennacherib of Assyria broke
camp and returned to his own
land. He went home to his capital
of Nineveh and stayed there. NLT

14. John 14:16-17 – “And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you
another Advocate, who will never
leave you. 17He is the Holy Spirit,
who leads into all truth. …NLT

realize that all of you together are
the temple of God and that the
Spirit of God lives in you? NLT

know that I am God! I will be
