If then you have been raised with Christ, see the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is in your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory (Colossians 3:1–4).

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust”
(Psalm 91:1–2).

When we ask for a rock of safety, we are asking God to protect us, to give us a special place we can go where we will not be afraid.
