The Book of Psalms has been a source of comfort and guidance for me as a mother, a wife, and a believer. Life gets busy, overwhelming, and sometimes just plain hard, but I always find myself turning to certain Psalms for reassurance. They remind me that God is in control, that He sees me, and that His promises never fail. There’s something deeply personal about these prayers and songs—they aren’t just words on a page; they are lifelines, filled with raw emotions and unshakable faith.
There are a few Psalms that I hold especially close to my heart—Psalms 23, 91, 35, 37, 121, and 27. Each of these speaks to a different need in my life, and I want to share what they mean to me and how they can be a source of strength for you too. I’ve had many moments where I was clinging to God in the middle of fear or anxiety, or wrestling with frustration when people who do wrong seem to get ahead. These feelings are real, and they show up in daily life more often than we’d like to admit—but these Psalms help me bring those emotions to God honestly and find peace in His presence.
Psalm 23: The Lord is My Shepherd
"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." (Psalm 23:1)
This is the first Psalm I ever memorized, and I know I’m not alone. It’s one of the most comforting passages in the Bible, a reminder that God provides, protects, and walks with us. No matter how chaotic life gets, I can rest in the truth that I am never alone.
Even in difficult seasons—when finances are tight, when parenting feels exhausting, or when anxiety creeps in—I remind myself that God is my Shepherd, and He will lead me to still waters. I don’t have to figure it all out on my own.

Psalm 91: A Shelter in Life’s Storms
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1)
This Psalm is one I cling to in times of uncertainty and fear. Whether it's a health scare, a loved one going through hardship, or just the worries that keep me up at night, I find peace in knowing that God is my refuge.
When I read “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you will find refuge” (v. 4), I picture a mother bird shielding her babies, and I remember that God does the same for me and my family. There’s no place safer than in His care.

Psalm 35: Trusting God for Justice
"Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me." (Psalm 35:1)
Sometimes, life feels unfair. People can be cruel, betrayals happen, and we face situations where we just want justice. This Psalm reminds me that God is my defender. I don’t have to seek revenge, hold onto bitterness, or waste energy trying to make things right on my own.
Instead, I pray and trust that God sees, God knows, and God will act in His perfect timing. Holding onto this truth has helped me let go of resentment and find peace, even in the hardest situations.

Psalm 37: Letting Go of Worry
"Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong." (Psalm 37:1)
It’s easy to get frustrated when we see people doing wrong and still succeeding. But this Psalm reminds me to stay focused on my walk with God, not on comparing my life to others. "Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart" (v. 4) encourages me to place my trust in Him rather than in what I think I should have.
Worry and frustration drain us, but trusting in God’s goodness gives peace. This Psalm has been a steady reminder that God’s plans are always better than mine, even when I don’t understand them right away.

Psalm 121: Help Comes from the Lord
"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2)
There are days when I feel exhausted—physically, mentally, emotionally. Whether it’s from taking care of my family, juggling responsibilities, or facing unexpected challenges, I sometimes wonder how I’ll get through it all. And then I remember this verse.
My help doesn’t come from my own strength, my own plans, or my own efforts—it comes from the Lord. The One who made heaven and earth is the same One who holds my life in His hands. When I remember this, I find the strength to keep going.

Psalm 27: Confidence in God’s Strength
"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?" (Psalm 27:1)
Fear is something I’ve struggled with. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of things going wrong. But Psalm 27 has taught me to replace fear with confidence in God. David’s boldness in this Psalm reminds me that no matter what comes my way, I can trust in God’s strength.
Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, I try to remind myself that God is my light and my salvation. He is bigger than my fears, and He will never leave me.
