Our prayer is that you would take some time to look back, and reflect on the ways you’ve grown in your relationship with God.

This week’s encore comes from our The Psalms of Ascent: A Lenten Pilgrimage series, episode When Help Doesn’t Seem to Come. It’s true; we can’t control life’s trials, but we do have a say in how we choose to respond. We can choose despair, or we can revisit Psalm 124, which offers comfort, hope, and a new perspective.
This is a special Encore Episode originally released in February 2024.
The word translated “ascent” means “to go up.” It gives an idea of being on a journey, moving to a higher place spiritually. In this week's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into Psalm 124 and explore Scripture’s response when help doesn’t seem to come. Trials in life are inevitable, but what if, instead of falling into despair, we choose to see them from a new perspective? Join Lisa and Laura as they set our hearts on pilgrimage, unpacking today’s Psalm and applying it to our daily lives.
