Trust in Turbulent Times: In seasons of uncertainty, it’s easy to relinquish our trust, succumbing to restlessness, anxiety and fear. The unknown future in life can torment our minds, keeping us trapped in a perpetual loop of “what ifs.” Yet we must recognize that this mindset runs counter to our identity as children of God. As believers, we are called to an existence defined by steadfast trust in the promises of Christ. Though external chaos swirls about us, we must keep our minds stayed on Him — the One who remains constant yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). What does it mean to truly trust during turbulent times? First and foremost, it requires us to place our faith not in our limited human understanding, but wholly in God. Isaiah 55:8–9 affirms, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” When we cannot trace God’s hand, we can trust His heart.
