Leaning into Jesus When Fear Overtakes – Psalm 91:1

Podcast Series: Daily Christian Prayer Devotional
Scripture Focus: Psalm 91:1

What happens when your faith wobbles and fear creeps in? Where do you turn when worldly comforts and routines can no longer provide peace or stability? In today’s five-minute spiritual meditation, Reverend Ben Cooper takes us to the heart of Psalm 91:1, where the Psalmist declares, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

In a world that constantly pulls us toward temporary escapes—materialism, noise, performance, and distraction—this episode invites you to lean into Jesus in a deeply personal way. With tender vulnerability and Holy Spirit-filled authority, Reverend Ben reflects on what it truly means to trust God as our shelter, refuge, and dwelling place.

“I've tried leaning into everything else, Lord... and I’ve fallen, I’ve stumbled, and I’ve crashed.”
 — Reverend Ben Cooper

Through biblical imagery and the powerful moment of the Last Supper—where one disciple physically leaned into Christ—this episode explores what it means to spiritually lean into the heart of Jesus. You are reminded that divine rest doesn’t come from perfect circumstances, but from perfect trust in an unshakable God.

As we name and declare God's character—Jehovah Jireh (Provider), Jehovah Nissi (Banner of victory), Jehovah Shalom (Peace)—we are reminded that everything we need is found in Him. Whether you are walking through anxiety, uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion, this short yet profound prayer devotion helps re-anchor your soul in God’s unchanging presence.
