My Times Are In God's Hands - [Psalms 31:13-17a]

Send us Fan Mail“My Times Are In Your Hands” explores David’s cry for help and confidence in Psalm 31:13–17. Surrounded by fear and opposition, he chooses trust over panic, faith over fear, and surrender over control. No matter what you’re facing today, God is still in control. Your times, your past, present, and future, rest safely in His hands. Terror on every side is not the end of the story. We open Psalm 31 and follow its echo through time to see how real people faced lions, emperors, prisons, furnaces, and fog with a steady, surrendered trust. David’s confession, “My times are in your hands,” becomes a spine for courage as we connect scripture’s heartbeat with lives that refused to bow to fear.We start with the Psalms as Israel’s prayerbook and trace how Psalm 31 surfaces at crucial moments—from Jesus’ final words to Paul’s testimony before Nero. Then we move through history: John Wycliffe insisting the Bible belongs in plain English, William Tyndale translating from the original languages and sealing his work with prayer and blood, and Jonathan Edwards calling hearts to deep conversion during the Great Awakening. Each story shows how faith navigates changing seasons without losing its center.Courage gets personal with Harriet Tubman, who memorized scripture and trusted God’s guidance to lead hundreds to freedom, and with George Müller, who funded orphan care through prayer rather than appeals, expecting specific answers from a faithful Father. Along the way, we revisit the three Hebrew boys’ “even if” stance and Isaiah’s assurance during Assyria’s siege to remind us that deliverance belongs to God and obedience belongs to us. We close with a clear invitation to follow Jesus, practical steps for discipleship, and spoken declarations rooted in God’s promises.If you need renewed courage, a stronger prayer life, or a fresh reason to trust when the headlines howl, this conversation will steady your heart.
