When It’s Hard to Trust
Sometimes it is hard to trust. You know that ultimately God is in control, but in the raw moments of the day it is hard to see His hand. You try to convince yourself that everything will turn out fine, but the truth is you really don’t know.
As you try to press forward, your mind is consumed with the struggle at hand. You want to see beyond the trial and move ahead with a positive outlook, but your thoughts of what might be bombard your mind.
It makes your heart beat a little faster and your stomach ache in agony. I’ve been there and I know that feeling. It’s not that I did not trust God to work out the problem at hand, but I struggled to see how my current problem could possibly turn out good.
I had read the verse that “All things work together for good,” but that day there was no good in sight. I resorted to thinking the worst which I often do in moments of shock. I tend to resort to the worst diagnosis, the most tragic outcome, and the least desired results as a way of preparing myself just in case.
I’m learning when these moments hit, to immediately allow God’s Word to go to work in my trembling heart. If I try to press on without acknowledging God and His power, I continue to struggle, deal with what might be, and fear what I cannot change.
If I allow God’s Word to speak into the tender moments when I am fragile and undone, I sense His presence within me. It’s not that I’m a great Christian or a super spiritual woman, but God’s power within a believer’s heart is holy ground. When the ground is wet with tears, the Word can soak in and nurture the sensitive places in need.
If you know Jesus, you can know the power of God within you. If you are not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, it’s time to consider the source of hope that can only be found in believing in Jesus as the sacrifice sent from God to forgive all people. He loves you. He cares for you, and He can comfort you on your darkest day.
I don’t know what you face in this moment, but I know this – God sees you and wants to speak comfort into the moments that make you tremble.
I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word. Psalm 119:107
You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word. Psalms 119:114
Love & Blessings,
Micah
