 Episode Summary:In this episode, I slow down with Psalm 23:4: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” For those of us who grew up hearing this verse everywhere - at church, in songs, even on wall art - I invite you to push past autopilot and approach it with fresh eyes. Together, we look at how our “valley” can look different from anyone else's, why comparison is so damaging, and how fear often sneaks into our lives disguised as something else (like a sense of justice or distraction). I share what God has shown me in prayer about facing hard things honestly, and introduce a super-practical, pretty phone wallpaper you can use as a reminder to surrender your fears to God each day, no matter what shape they take.Key Points with Timestamps:Verse Introduction and Familiarity (00:00):Rachel reads Psalm 23:4, recognizing its comfort and ubiquity, and encourages a deeper look beyond nostalgia.Real Talk on the “Valley” Experience (01:20):Conversation about how everyone’s valley of the shadow of death is unique, and why comparing our pain undermines our relationship with God.Naming the Hard Things and Noticing God (03:00):Listeners are invited to name their own difficult season and reflect on where God showed up—in the past and present.How Fear Puts on Disguises (05:00):Rachel reveals how fear often appears as things like a strong sense of justice, anxiety, or even busyness.Listening Prayer and God’s Correction (06:30):Reflection on God’s invitation to discern the root of fears and remember who is truly in control during difficult times.Tools for Verbal Surrender (08:00):Introduction to custom autumn prayer wallpapers as visual prompts to turn fears into prayers, plus encouragement on using practical tools like crafted prayers.Call to Embrace Comfort and Surrender (09:30):The episode ends with a challenge to let God’s comfort become real through surrender, plus an invitation to download the prayer wallpapers and join ongoing conversation in the community.Mentioned Links:Rachel Grit WebsiteHub for all podcast episodes, faith resources, and downloads.Crafted Prayers by Graham Cooke(Affiliate link) Recommended resource for learning how to pray intentionally.Download Autumn Prayer WallpapersFree, pretty phone wallpapers featuring crafted prayers for surrender and peace.Supporting Verses:Psalm 23:4, ESV“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”Reminds us that every person’s “valley” is valid and comfort is found in God’s presence.What’s Next?Take a few minutes in your journal to name your current valley or hard season - don’t compare, just notice how it feels and where God might be present.Look for ways fear might be showing up in your life (an overactive sense of justice, busyness, perfectionism), and gently ask God what the real root might be.Download an autumn prayer wallpaper from RachelGrit.com/13 and use it as a daily reminder to hand your anxieties to God - no special words needed.Next time you’re tempted to minimize what you’re facing, remind yourself that God’s comfort is for you too - right here, right now.Share your valley or what fear is “dressed up as” in the comments or with a friend to invite prayer and truth into your story.Topics Covered:Psalm 23:4 reflectionFear and spiritual growthPrayer tools for anxiety and surrenderBiblical justiceMental health and faithChristian encouragement for hard seasonsVerbal surrenderSocial Media Links:Instagram: @rachelgritTikTok: @rachel.gritPinterest: @rachgritYouTube: @rachelgrit
