Trust

God’s timing may stretch your faith, but His faithfulness never fails.

Storms: Trusting God to calm the choppy seas of life

God isn't asking for your help to plan. He's asking for your yes. 1. If God called you to something big, He's asking you to have faith. 2. When you plan it all, you leave God out of it. You only accomplish what you can accomplish. 3. Which means you don't need God to make it happen. 4. Say yes first. Then let God lead the planning.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. - Psalm 27:14

Impatience is just distrust with a deadline.

Choose to trust God in the middle of what you don’t understand

1: God doesn’t backtrack. 2: He doesn’t contradict Himself. 3: What He said, He meant. 4: What He promised, He will do. 5: You can build your life on that kind of truth.

God's Faithfulness Never Fails

God is faithful in every season.

What He promised, He will do.

Trusting God isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

1. Signs you might be in a wilderness season… 2. You're doing everything right and nothing is moving. Praying. Reading. Showing up. And it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling and sliding down the wall. 3. You're not angry at God exactly. Just...confused. The silence isn't hostile. It's just very, very quiet. 4. The things that used to fill you up aren't filling you up the same way right now. Worship feels flat. Scripture feels familiar but distant. You're going through the motions and you know it. 5. You keep waiting for the thing that's supposed to happen next. And it keeps not happening. And you're running out of ways to be okay with that. 6. You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Not physically exhausted. Soul tired. 7. Here’s the thing: The wilderness is where God does some of his most important work. Israel. Moses. David. Jesus. All of them spent time there. None of them stayed forever. 8. The wilderness has an exit. You are not lost. You are in process. And the God who led you in is the same God who leads you out.

“I do not always feel His presence, but God’s promises do not depend upon my feelings, they rest upon His integrity.” – R.C. Sproul

As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” - 1 Peter 2:6

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. - Psalm 62:8

1. Praying “Your will be done" but reminding Him what you want just in case. 2. Watching everyone around you receive the thing you've been praying for. 3. Surrendering something to God on Monday and picking it back up by Wednesday. 4. Being scared that if you fully surrender God will take that as permission to say no. 5. The moment you realize the waiting changed something in you that the answer never could have.

1. Job worshiped after losing everything. 2. Paul and Silas sang in prison. 3. Abraham trusted God and left his home for a land he’d never seen. 4. Mary said yes before she knew what pregnancy would mean. 5. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego worshiped even under threat of death. 6. We don’t have to understand everything or feel happy with our circumstances to worship.

Christian faith isn't blind. It's believing God will do for you what He did for others.

He’s got the whole world in His hands

Stop overthinking. Start by going to God.

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. - Numbers 23:19
