A Psalm of Ascent

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Psalm 120, the first of the Psalms of Ascent. They explore how this cry for rescue from lies and conflict becomes a model of trust in God’s faithfulness. As the psalmist laments the struggle to live among those who hate peace, Sally and Curtis share personal insights on surrendering burdens to God, trusting Him to handle deceit and injustice, and finding lasting peace in His presence. With encouragement from Philippians 4, they remind us that true peace is not found in the absence of trouble but in continual prayer and deep reliance on God’s steadfast love.
