Trusting God in Uncertain Times
We live in a world full of uncertainties economic instability, health crises, relationship struggles, and personal challenges that seem to arrive without warning. If you're anything like me, you've had moments when you've asked, “Where is God in all of this?”
The good news is that we’re not alone in our uncertainty. Scripture is filled with stories of men and women who faced unimaginable challenges and yet chose to trust God.
Abraham: Trust Without a Map
When God told Abraham to leave his country and go “to a land I will show you” (Genesis 12:1), He didn’t give him a roadmap or a timeline. Abraham packed up his family and trusted that God would provide direction—and He did. This kind of faith may seem radical, but it's exactly the kind we’re called to have.
Peter: Trust on the Water
Peter walked on water—until he took his eyes off Jesus and looked at the waves. The moment he focused on the storm, he started sinking (Matthew 14:30). How often do we do the same? The storms of life seem overwhelming, but Jesus’ hand is always stretched out, ready to catch us when we falter.
Why Trust?
Trusting God doesn’t mean we understand everything. It means we believe He is good—even when things are not. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
God sees the full picture. We see just a frame.
Practical Ways to Trust
-
Stay in the Word – Let Scripture be your anchor when emotions are unstable.
-
Pray Honestly – God can handle your fears and doubts. Speak to Him openly.
-
Reflect on Past Faithfulness – Remember what He’s already brought you through.
-
Surround Yourself with Faithful Friends – Sometimes we need others to remind us of truth when we forget.
Final Thought
God doesn’t promise a storm-free life. But He promises to be with us in the storm. He is our refuge, our strength, and our ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). So today, no matter what you’re facing, make the bold choice to trust Him—especially when you can’t see the whole path.
You’re not walking alone.

2 months, 3 weeks agoThis post really spoke to my heart especially the reminder that trusting God doesn’t mean having all the answers, but choosing to believe in His goodness even when life feels uncertain. The example of Peter sinking when he looked at the waves hit home for me; it’s so easy to focus on the storm instead of the Savior. Thank you for sharing such a timely and powerful message. I needed this reminder today that God's faithfulness isn’t dependent on my circumstances, but on His unchanging character. 🙏
