    Meaning of Nahum 1:7

    A prayer with Nahum 1:7

    Lord, you are good in this trouble. Be my refuge today, and keep me from treating anxiety as wiser than you. Amen.

    Questions about Nahum 1:7

    What does Nahum 1:7 mean on the feast of the Archangels?

    September 29, 2026 is the feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, and the verse of the day is Nahum 1:7: the Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. The archangels defend and announce. The verse tells you where to stand while trouble lasts: in God, not in a strategy that pretends the trouble is already over.

    Does Nahum 1:7 promise that trouble will stop today?

    No. Nahum calls the Lord a refuge in times of trouble, which assumes the trouble is still there. On this Michaelmas, refuge means you turn to God before you turn to the next explanation, and you may ask St. Michael's protection without treating the verse as a guarantee that the day will go smoothly.

    How do I pray Nahum 1:7 on September 29?

    Say the line once, name the trouble honestly, and ask the Lord to be your refuge in it. A Catholic way to keep the feast is the prayer to St. Michael after that, still aimed at the same God Nahum calls good.
