Your Question:
Can I really trust God with my life when He's taking everything away?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with trusting God when things seem to be falling apart. It's natural to feel that way, but I want to encourage you to take a step back and look at your relationship with God. Are you trusting in His character, or are you trusting in the blessings He gives you? If we truly trust in God, we'll want Him, not just His blessings. We'll learn to rest in His presence, regardless of what's happening in our lives. When we trust in God, we're not concerned about the things that happen, because we know He's in control. We're not worried about what He's going to do, because we know He's always good. His silence is not a sign of displeasure, but a time of discipline, a chance for us to deepen our trust in Him. We don't have to pretend to be joyful and confident; we can simply wait upon God and be grounded in Him. It's a paradox, isn't it? When we trust in God, we're saying we're inadequate, but at the same time, we're home. We have the Father's love, and we know He's the ruling King. That's enough. So, I want to encourage you to surrender to God, to abandon yourself to Him, and refuse to ask questions about what He's going to do. Trust in His character, not just His blessings, and you'll find that you're no longer concerned about the things that happen in your life.
