Welcome back to the Wake Up My Daughters Podcast as we continue our Rooted in Who God Is season.

In this episode, we focus on a truth that brings peace in the middle of uncertainty: God is our Protector.

When fear lingers, when decisions feel heavy, and when life feels unsafe or unpredictable, Scripture reminds us that protection is not something we manufacture—it is Someone we trust. God is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help.

Today, we slow down to breathe, reflect, and allow God’s protective presence to steady our hearts and guide our steps. And be sure to listen to the end of the episode, where I share a special invitation to help you go even deeper in renewing your mind and walking out these truths daily.

Scripture Focus

• Psalm 46:1 — God as our refuge and strength
• Psalm 18:1–2 — The Lord as our rock, fortress, and deliverer
• Esther 4–5 — Courage and trust under God’s protection
• Joshua 2 — Rahab’s faith and obedience under God’s shelter

These passages show us that God’s protection is active, personal, and present—shaping both our courage and our choices.

In This Episode, You’ll Experience

• A calming invitation to settle your heart in God’s presence
• Scripture that reminds you God is near, not distant
• An original Scripture song inspired by Psalm 18
• Teaching that explores biblical examples of trusting God under pressure
• Reflections on Esther and Rahab and what their faith teaches us today
• Gentle application to everyday fears and uncertainties
• Reflection questions and a guided prayer
• A second listening of the Scripture song to let God’s truth sink deeper
• A special invitation to continue growing beyond the episode

Reflection Questions

Take time to reflect on these questions—during the episode or later today:

• Where have I struggled to trust God as my refuge lately?
• What decisions or responses might look different if I fully leaned on His protection?
• How could acknowledging God as my Protector today change my words, actions, or relationships?
• Where might God be inviting me to step forward in faith instead of fear?

Today’s Takeaway

God is your refuge and fortress—steady, present, and faithful, even when everything around you feels uncertain.
