It’s easy to trust God when things are going good. But what happens when we face complications or uncertainty? What happens when you are being pushed to the limit due to family or financial problems? Or maybe someone you love is facing an illness.
In hard situations, it’s not uncommon for your trust in God to be shaken. You might wonder why you have to go through such tough times. Maybe you feel like your entire world is falling apart. Or maybe you even feel abandoned by God.
In the hardest moments, trust in God is essential. If we only have faith when things are going well, then we really don’t need faith. But when things get complicated, or even brutal, that’s when you have to stay closer than ever to God.
Cry out to him. Seek him. Things might not turn out exactly how you want, but the process will teach you to trust in the Lord no matter what. This will serve you for your entire life. You will grow in steadiness and wisdom. You will gain patience. And you will walk with your Lord, even through the fire, as you know heaven awaits you.
“Behold, God is my salvation;
Isaiah 12:2
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”
Prayer to trust in the Lord
O blessed Lord,
I can’t shake the doubt and worry. Obstacles rise up all around me. I have too much to do.
So I run around in circles even if it’s just in my mind. I feel trapped and choked.
Rise up, O Lord, rise up!
Cast out my doubts and fears. Silence the lies of the enemy that tell me I am lost and alone.
For the Lord is my strength and my energy. You are my stronghold, the Almighty in whom I trust.
So I return to you again. I return to your presence.
I know I am your child. I know I am beloved. I know I am blessed.
I will continue forward as the promises of God go before me.
May the obstacles in my life and in my mind come tumbling down.
I will trust in my Lord, my God.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
