A Mighty Fortress — a free, large-print word search drawn from Psalm 46, the great song of refuge, stillness, and unshakeable trust.
About A Mighty Fortress
Psalm 46 has steadied countless hearts across the centuries — its opening words, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble," have been breathed as a prayer in moments of fear and wonder alike. A quiet river runs through its verses, gladding the city of God, a still current against the roar of nations and the shaking of mountains. And at its still center comes the gentle, arresting command: "Be still, and know that I am God" — words that have never worn out their welcome.
