11 Verses For When You Need Help Trusting God

When all we have left is a God whose ways we don’t entirely understand, we possess the opportunity to trust. And expressed faith, however weak it may seem, pleases God.

The what, the when, the how, and the why will become clear, eventually. Until that time, trusting in the Who, and walking as best we can in His direction is enough.

Here are some verses, and a prayer at the end, to help remind you that God is faithful and worthy of our full trust.

Dear God,

Your Word is clear that we are called to trust You. Some days, that feels easy; but other days, trust seems impossible. When I’m waiting for You to fulfill a promise to me, when I don’t have any idea what’s coming next, when nothing seems to make sense…help me to trust in You. Remind me of Your faithfulness and provision in the past, and may it lead me to trust You in the present. I love You.

In Christ’s name I pray, amen.
