God is our Refuge

God is our refuge and strength

A very present help in trouble. 

Therefore I will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried off into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling

.....

God is in her midst, she shall not be moved; 

God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 

.....

The LORD of Hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

.....

Be still and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

The LORD of Hosts is with us,

The God of Jacob is our refuge. 

(parts of Psalm 46)

This psalm alone speaks volumes, and I find it a very comforting psalm to read when life's troubles seem too much to bear. When so much is going on in life, and all you want to do is crawl into a hole away from it all; you can crawl into God's arms, knowing that there you will find refuge and strength.
