From Cave to Courage: How David's Faith Inspires Us to Overcome Adversity:  Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 142
 
In today’s episode, we explore Psalm 142 and the powerful message it holds for those facing desperate situations. David's experience of hiding in a cave to escape death may seem extreme, but we all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by challenging circumstances. Through David's unwavering faith in God's intervention, we can find comfort and hope in the face of adversity. Join me as we delve into this story of strength and resilience. My heartfelt prayer is that this episode will bring you the inspiration and encouragement you need to face any challenge with courage and confidence.
Thoughts to Journal:
Think of a difficult situation you're currently facing or have faced in the past. How did you feel during that time? What actions did you take to overcome it? Now, imagine how David felt while he was hiding in a cave and how he found the courage to trust in God. How can you apply David's unwavering faith to your own situation?
Today’s Key Verse:
I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. Psalm 142:1-2
Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast. 
Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?
Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.
The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.
Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.

In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.
