Biblical Answer

When facing difficulties and uncertainties, it's natural to question one's trust in God. The Bible teaches us that true faith is about trusting God's Word and relying on Him to do as He has promised (Hebrews 11:6). This means surrendering our own efforts and trusting in God's sovereignty over all creation (Psalm 31:19, Isaiah 41:10). We can't trust in God if we're trying to control everything ourselves or relying on our own strength. Instead, we need to recognize our limitations and place our trust in God's goodness and faithfulness (Psalm 119:142).

The Bible also reminds us that God is not responsible for evil, but rather He is the One who has suffered on account of it (Isaiah 53:3-5). This means that God is not the cause of evil, but rather He is the One who can bring good out of it (Romans 8:28). We can trust in God's goodness and love, even in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. As Psalm 119:142 says, "My soul faints with longing for your laws, at all times I have regard for your precepts, because all your commandments are righteous." We need to keep digging into God's Word, praying, and trusting in His goodness and faithfulness.

Ultimately, trusting God means surrendering our own efforts and trusting in His sovereignty over all creation. This is not a passive trust, but rather an active trust that involves surrendering our will to God's will (Romans 12:1-2). When we trust in God, we can experience peace, joy, and contentment, even in the midst of uncertainty and difficulty (Philippians 4:4-7). As the Bible says, "I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). We can trust in God's goodness and love, and He will be our rock and our salvation.
