Your Question:
How can I trust God when everything is falling apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling to trust God when everything seems to be falling apart. I've been there myself, and I can tell you that it's a difficult place to be. But as I've learned from my own experiences and from scripture, trust in God is not about feeling a certain way or having a certain outcome. It's about knowing that God is holy love and that He is working everything out for our good, even when it doesn't feel like it. As the passage says, "Disaster occurs in your life when you lack the mental composure that comes from establishing yourself on the eternal truth that God is holy love." So, the first step is to establish that truth in our minds and hearts. We need to remind ourselves that God is good and that He is working everything out for our good, even when it doesn't feel like it. And we need to trust that He will give us the grace to handle the disappointments that lie ahead, as He says in His word. But trust in God is not just about feeling a certain way or having a certain outcome. It's about surrendering ourselves to His hands and entrusting ourselves to His care. As the passage says, "Entrust yourself to God's hands." That means letting go of our own efforts and our own understanding, and simply trusting that God is working everything out for our good. It's not always easy, but it's the only way to truly experience the peace and confidence that comes from trusting in God.
