Have you ever seen a castle with tall stone towers? A long time ago, towers were the safest place to be. When trouble came, people would run inside the strong, thick walls where nothing could reach them. Up high in the tower, behind all that stone, they were protected and safe.

The Bible says that God is like a strong tower. When we’re scared, worried, or in trouble, we can run to God and find safety in Him! Some people think they’ll be safe if they just have enough money, or enough cool stuff, or enough friends. But money can run out, stuff can break, and friends can move away. Only God is a tower that never falls down.

The best part is you don’t have to run very far to get to this tower. God is always close. The moment you talk to Him, you’ve already run inside the safest place in the whole universe. His name, His love, and His power are like strong stone walls all around you.

Take Action: Make God your “go-to tower” this weekend. Here’s how: think of one thing that makes you feel scared or worried. The next time that worry shows up, “run to the tower”! Close your eyes and pray, “God, You are my strong tower. I’m running to You, and I’m safe.” Picture yourself safe inside His strong walls. Practice running to Him every time you feel worried!
