God Calls Us to Trust: He Does the Rest

Is trusting God difficult for you? Or, would you prefer to place your trust in yourself or others?

And have you ever wondered:

How will I get through this?

Where do I turn?

What are we going to do?

Several times in my life, it felt as if I were free-falling. Like an amusement park ride, the bottom fell out from under me.

Such as the times my husband or I lost a job, our livelihood. And when I miscarried our second baby and hoped to have another child. Also, when my father passed away. In all those cases, insecurity locked arms with me as my unwelcome companion.

I’m realizing the Lord grows my faith and trust in Him more when life seems unknown than when things are going as planned.

Here’s what I’m learning.

Our Job is Trusting Instead of Worrying
