Your Question:
How do I trust God when everything feels like a disaster?
Answer:
I completely understand the struggle of trusting God when everything feels like a disaster. As a pastor, I've seen many people go through similar situations, and it's amazing how often we try to rely on our own strength and common sense instead of trusting in God's holy love. But the truth is, God wants us to venture our all with total abandon and confidence in Him, just as He ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us. When we lack mental composure and trust in God, we can fall into a cycle of fear and hopelessness. But God promises to give us the grace to handle the disappointments that lie ahead if we live for Him in the present. It's not reckless to trust in God rather than ourselves; in fact, it's the opposite. When we trust in God, we open ourselves up to His guidance and protection. And when we don't trust in Him, we can quench and grieve His Spirit, leading to further crisis and humiliation. So, how do we trust God in the midst of disaster? First, we need to understand that God is holy love, and He wants to reveal Himself to us. We need to pray and listen to Him about everything, forming the habit of finding out what He says and heeding it. We need to trust that God will do in us what we cannot do, and that He will give us the strength and guidance we need to navigate even the toughest situations. And most importantly, we need to remember that God's ways are not our ways, and that He sees all things, even when we can't see them.
