Sometimes, the world feels heavy. Even in seasons of joy, we carry silent weight. These include questions, grief, weariness, and longings we can’t quite name. And yet, there is a place we can always go to lay it all down.
That place is God’s presence.
This week’s message is about finding solace in God. And for each of us, that may look a little different. Some find it in whispered prayers beneath an open sky. Others in stillness with their Bible, in worship, in tears, in laughter, or in rest.
Wherever your heart feels full and still in His presence—that’s your place of solace.
Anchor of the Week
"My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." – Exodus 33:14
Solace isn't something we chase; it's something we receive. His presence brings rest, and His rest brings renewal.
Featured Meditations for Deeper Solace
It’s hard to believe we have over 200 videos on Anchored in Faith! So, whether you’re looking to draw closer to Jesus, release your burdens, or fall asleep wrapped in His righteousness, there is something that will support your faith journey. These are 3 that I’ve hand-picked for you this week:
🙏 A Prayer for the Week
Father,
When the weight of life presses in, help us lean into You.
Remind us that solace isn’t found in escape, but in presence.
Your presence.
Still our anxious minds.
Soften the places we’ve hardened.
And draw us back to that holy space where we can simply rest, breathe, and remember that we are safe in You.
Give peace to the one who is weary.
Comfort to the one who feels unseen.
And give your quiet assurance to the one who is waiting.
In You, we are held.
In You, we are home.
In Jesus’ Holy name,
Amen.
💌 A Message From My Heart
As we approach 1,500 subscribers on YouTube, I just want to pause and say:
THANK YOU!
Thank you for walking with me.
For listening.
For sharing.
For praying with me.
For believing that faith-based content matters.
Whether you've been here since day one or found our channel last week, you’re part of this family, God’s family. And your presence means more than I can put into words.
Reflection Prompt: Where Do You Find Solace?
Take a moment this week to ask yourself: Where do I most deeply feel God’s presence?
Is it during quiet prayer?
In the beauty of nature?
As worship music fills the room?
In a still moment at night, or in the laughter of your children?
Wherever that sacred space is for you, make time for it this week.
Return to it. Rest in it.
That’s where solace lives. That’s where God meets you.
💐 A Special Blessing for Mother's Day
To all the mothers, grandmothers, spiritual mothers, and those who nurture with love,
may this day fill your heart with the peace, honor, and joy you so deeply deserve.
Whether you’re celebrating, remembering, grieving, or simply resting today,
know that you are seen, cherished, and loved.
Wishing you a day filled with grace, quiet moments, and the comfort of God’s embrace.
And to my own mom, who now rests in heaven,
Thank you for the love and the strength you poured into me.
You are missed, cherished, and forever honored in my heart.
