Your Question:
How can I trust God when everything falls apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're going through a tough time and struggling to trust God. I've been there myself, and I've learned that it's in those moments that we need to remind ourselves of God's character. He is holy love, and His desire is for us to have a deep, unshakeable trust in Him. It's not about trusting in His blessings or the things He does for us, but about trusting in Him Himself. Faith is about throwing ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God. We must be willing to venture our all with Him, just as He ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us. It's about having a simple, perfect trust in God, where we no longer want His blessings, but only want Him. When we truly see God at work, we'll never be concerned again about the things that happen, because we're actually trusting in our Father in heaven. It's okay to struggle with fear and doubt, but we mustn't let those emotions dictate our trust in God. He wants to give us the grace to handle the disappointments that lie ahead, but we must live for Him in the present. It's not about relying on our own common sense or trying to pretend that everything is okay; it's about waiting upon God and being grounded in Him. As it says in Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You."
