Biblical Answer

Trust in God's Sovereignty

When we face uncertainty, it's natural to feel a sense of panic or worry. However, as believers, we are called to trust in God's sovereignty, even when we don't understand the circumstances. Our confidence should reside in God, not in our own understanding. We are to entrust our plans to Him, knowing that He will direct us where He wills (Proverbs 3:5-6). This means we must let go of our need to control every situation and instead, trust in God's unlimited authority to do as He pleases with His creation.

Uncertainty and Doubt

It's okay to feel uncertain or unsure about whether it's God we're in contact with, especially in difficult situations. Teresa of Avila, for example, experienced moments of doubt in her faith. However, as we seek to trust in God's sovereignty, we must remember that our trust is not in our own feelings or perceptions, but in God's absolute knowledge and sovereignty. We can find refuge in God's Word, which promises that He will prove a sanctuary to all who put their trust in Him (Psalm 91:2). As we read and meditate on Scripture, we can gain a deeper understanding of God's character and purposes, which can help us trust in His sovereignty, even when we're unsure.

The Power of Trust

When we trust in God's sovereignty, we experience a sense of freedom from worry about the future. We can live with a far more comprehensive trust in God, knowing that He is in control and will accomplish all that He intends. This trust is not just a feeling, but a reality that is grounded in God's Word. As we trust in God, we can experience the power of His presence in our lives, which can give us hope and encouragement in the midst of uncertainty. As Jesus said, "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). When we trust in God's sovereignty, we can experience the fullness of His power and provision in our lives.
