If your heart is heavy with fear and doubt, take a moment to be reminded of the absolute security to be found in Jesus.

Though we may suffer trials, He is present to strengthen us.

We can say with confidence that "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid" (Hebrews 13:6 NIV). 

Author and photographer Tracy L. Smoak's Bible study "Refuge of Grace: Finding Your Safe Place" reminds Christians that God’s promises are true, and He is steadfast. His love will help us navigate the unknowns, just as He has guided his children for millennia.

Journey anew through Bible stories to see ways God can speak during hardship and help us overcome every difficulty. With Him, believers are secure.

"Tracy has a wonderful gift for painting vivid pictures based on biblical stories with modern-day parallels and even describing what our heavenly reunion might be like," said Kathy Ide, author and owner of the Christian Editor Network. "She really drew me in.”
