Rooted in the Right Place: Trusting God When It’s Hard

Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast with Reverend Ben Cooper
Scripture Focus: Jeremiah 17:7–8

What if the strength you're searching for isn’t found in your hustle, your plans, or even your ministry—but in where your soul is planted?

In this powerful 5-minute daily devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper leads us into the heart of Jeremiah 17:7–8:

“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream...” (Jeremiah 17:7–8 NIV)

This soul-strengthening message unpacks the secret of spiritual resilience—not through religion, effort, or emotional hype, but by being deeply rooted in God's presence.

Many believers today find themselves exhausted, emotionally dry, and spiritually distant. The reason? We’ve unknowingly placed our confidence in the wrong things: careers, achievements, material success, and even religious identity. But the Bible reminds us: the one who trusts in the Lord remains green, fruitful, and unshaken—even in seasons of drought.

This devotional explores:

• What it means to be truly rooted in God
• Why worldly success can never replace spiritual intimacy
• How to return to God’s life-giving Word in dry seasons
• The danger of self-reliance and the beauty of surrender
• How prayer realigns your soul to God’s strength

Through a simple but powerful moment of guided prayer, Reverend Ben invites you to examine your spiritual foundation. Are you living from the well of the world—or the stream of living water that flows from God alone?

LIFE APPLICATION

• Reflect: Where have I unknowingly placed my confidence?
• Reposition: What would it look like to plant my heart by God's stream today?
• Respond: What steps will I take this week to stay connected to His Word?
