Truths From The Psalms To Anchor Your Soul
What does a person do when the worst thing imaginable happens, their life is profoundly altered, and no hope is in sight? Catherine Martin cites numerous real-life accounts of people in crisis, and reveals their source of strength: the truth of God’s Word.
A Heart That Hopes in God will take you deep into some of the choice Psalms of comfort, inspiring the kind of hope that will set your heart aflame with love for the Lord.
Life is a journey of the heart making its way to a rich, deep intimacy with God. In your life with God, there are two certainties you can count on – trials and God. And you need to know God always outweighs any trial that comes your way. The secret to preventing a fall into despair is to calculate God into every situation. … The promises from my Lord in the Psalms enable me to run to the arms of God and entrust my soul to Him.
Catherine Martin
"For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."
— Romans 15:4 NASB
How can you have a heart that hopes in God? How can you endure even when the worst imaginable trial of life comes your way? How can you keep a deep and abiding sense of joy in the midst of sorrow and pain? Catherine Martin demonstrates that hope may be found in the promises of God throughout the Psalms …
With the psalmists as your beacons of hope, you can experience new times of refreshment in your daily walk. The key is to meet with God daily in prayerful quiet time. With this 8-week collection of complete quiet times, you can journey into some of the choice Psalms of comfort to discover hope even in life’s most difficult circumstances by using The P.R.A.Y.E.R.™ Quiet Time Plan: Prepare your heart, Read and study God’s Word, Adore God in prayer, Yield yourself to God, Enjoy His presence, Rest in His love.
Martin is not lax when it comes to Bible study. She offers selected Scriptures in multiple translations, and delves into original Greek and Hebrew meanings – all geared to give the reader a more firm grasp of Scripture. I love the format of the lessons: Prepare Your Heart, Read and Study God’s Word, Adore God in Prayer, Yield Yourself to God, Enjoy His Presence, and Rest in His Love. Eight weeks worth of study is packed into this book. Five days of the week include complete lessons, and days six and seven of the week (presumably the weekend) are geared for meditation, reflection, and journaling about what you learned throughout the week.

Oh how I need [Christ as a shield] today – shielding from anxiousness and worry especially. … Then I opened A Heart that Hopes in God, and the next segment (Week 3, Day 4) was The Secret Place in the Trial. I read Psalm 31:8 (Read & Study God’s Word), which told me that my heavenly Father won’t hand me over to the enemy, but He has set my feet in a spacious place. I meditated on that for awhile and I could see that when anxiousness is a cage, the Lord has a far more spacious refuge for me. I looked up a suggested cross-reference and found Job 36:16. I read F.B. Meyer’s description of the secret place (Yield Yourself To God) as the royal withdrawing room. I thought of the spiritual nourishment the Lord gives me each day, and how He invites me to withdraw from the hustle and bustle of life to enjoy His presence. In the sanctuary – the refuge, the secret place – I meet the awesome Lord, and He provides power and strength.

A few weeks ago, I was reading Psalm 121 in A Heart That Hopes In God. … This is one of my favorite kinds of studies … Verse 5 says ‘The LORD is your keeper …’ The word keeper was etched upon my mind. I forgot that I wanted to do a word study, but God did not. He kept bringing the word to mind. Today I returned to Psalm 121 and found a blank Word Study page in my Quiet Time Notebook devotional pages and began a wonderful study!
