Frequently Asked Questions

How do I 'run' to God as my refuge?

Through prayer, worship, and trust. Running to God means turning to Him FIRST — before calling a friend, searching the internet, or spiraling in anxiety. It's a posture of dependence: 'Lord, You are my hiding place.' Faith is the door to the fortress.

What does 'underneath are the everlasting arms' mean?

It means you cannot fall farther than God's arms. No matter how deep the valley, His arms are underneath. This is not a temporary catch — they are 'everlasting' arms. There is no depth to which you can sink that God's support doesn't reach.
