✨ Reflection
Today, I’m reflecting on trust in God.
This is something I’ve yearned to truly understand—how do I actually trust Him? Because for so long, I’ve been used to being in control here on earth.
But through this journey of transformation, I’m learning.
In my devotion today, Psalm 56:3 reminded me where to start—when I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
And that sounds simple… but living it is something different.
One thing I’m coming to understand is this—God said He would never leave us. He is always here. Always present. Always aware.
So trusting Him doesn’t always mean things will turn out the way I expected. It doesn’t mean the outcome will match what I had in my mind.
It means trusting that what He allows is what’s best for me in that moment.
And that’s the part that has taken me time to accept.
I’m still learning as I write this—what does it really look like to let go?
What does it feel like?
What does it look like in real life, in real situations, when fear shows up… when anxiety shows up… when lack is staring at you… when something feels out of your control?
If I’ve done all I can with what He has given me—then what does it mean to release it and trust Him with the rest?
I’ve been asking myself that.
And what I’m starting to understand is… letting go isn’t always this big dramatic moment.
Sometimes it looks like this—
taking a deep breath
stepping back
quieting my thoughts
and choosing not to react the same way I used to
I’ve noticed that when I do that, I handle things with less emotion.
And the results are different.
Better.
But breaking that habit… that’s real work.
Because when you’ve spent years responding out of emotion, it becomes second nature. And when you’ve been used to being in control, releasing that control doesn’t come easy.
But I’m learning.
Slowly… but for real this time.
Trust and obey—that’s what He asks of us.
And I’m understanding now… this isn’t just a suggestion.
It’s the way.
And I’m choosing to learn how to walk in it.
