It isn’t easy to always have faith in God in hard times. But it is essential. Let’s discuss the importance of trusting in Him regardless of our circumstances and beliefs.
What does “Trusting Him” mean?
Trusting Him means having faith in God, believing in Him and His abilities. It means relying entirely on Him regarding every circumstance, situation, and life. Trusting someone requires you to believe in what they say and be confident they will act on it.
The question arises: is it really as easy to trust God? The answer is yes and no. If you’re struggling in life, putting your trust in Him might be difficult.
Why Is It Important To Trust Him?
Life is full of uncertainties. One day, you’re up; the next minute, you’re down. It’s unpredictable. But sometimes, some experiences turn the tables in your favor.
Trusting Him is easier when things go your way. But doubt can creep in and make you question his sovereignty when it gets rough. And in no time, you start blaming God for all the adversities happening in your life. When faced with difficult times, we tend to get consumed by sorrow and neglect our blessings. It is in our human nature to hide away, curl up in a corner, and drown in our miseries than face the hard times.
But this is the very time you need to turn towards Him rather than away from Him. He’s got you! It might feel like there’s no way out of this maze, but if you continue to trust Him, He will never let you down.
Benefits Of Trusting God In Hard Times
It is a Source of Peace
Life can get complicated, but reminding yourself that God would never leave you alone or burden you more than you can bear brings you peace.
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:8.
Trusting God in testing times can be a source of calm and peace you need.
It Redirects You
When life throws you into a downward spiral, it can be difficult to see your way back up. However, trusting in God will move you towards the direction you need to take. By counting on His guidance and wisdom, you will be protected from the misleading opinions of others.
It Strengthens Your Faith
You need to remember that eventually, but surely, things will get better. God will show you. So when life knocks you over, you come out of the tunnel with deepened faith. Just like the importance of trust in relationships and friendships, faith in God is cultivated slowly yet firmly.
Trust In His Words
God doesn’t go against his Word. There are numerous stories of how He kept His Word throughout the Bible. Go through the Holy Book and witness the promises he’s kept. It will provide you comfort and eliminate doubts.
Faith in God may become difficult when times get excruciatingly unbearable. But it’s the only thing that keeps you going most of the time, just like it did for Rosalia, a war-stricken widow during the Holocaust. She kept her faith during the worst of times. She lost her entire family, but God kept her alive despite it all, only to witness a better future.
