I consider the notion of Safe Haven of utmost importance. But what do the Christian teachings mean by "Safe Haven"? What is it exactly. Where is it, if it is to be found anywhere.? Thank you.
This is where I go in prayer when the trials or spiritual warfare are too intense. There are many, many other Scriptures that provide comfort in the midst of our storms, I just like the imagery of this one personally...

Psalm 91:4 NIV

"He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

God never fails to renew our spirits when we rest in Him, and returns us to the fight in His time!

I searched for it, but couldn't find the materials on Safe Haven that I needed. And it appears that Christianity does mention Safe Haven.
I have not come across the term "safe haven". It isn't in any English translation of the bible to which I have access. There is a hymn, Jesus, Lover of my Soul," which includes the words: "Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last!" There are plenty of bible verses which mention a "refuge," referring either to the cities God told the Israelites to appoint as cities of refuge for people who had accidentally killed somebody, or to God Himself.

Can you be more specific?

I'm not aware of any Christian teaching, per se, about a safe haven.

The "safe haven" is knowing one will receive eternal life .... we focus on the heavenly and not the earthly now matter how bad the earthly may get .... it's trusting in Gods promises that one day we will received eternal life where there will be no more pain or sorrow and live in a sinless world.
