There have been times when I’ve felt completely unsure about what’s next—when life kept throwing one challenge after another, leaving me feeling overwhelmed. In those moments, I often wanted to disconnect, immersing myself in distractions just to escape. But I’ve learned that avoidance doesn’t solve anything. No matter how much I procrastinate, the challenges remain, sometimes even growing worse. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:27, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” Worry drains us, but it never moves us forward.
Over time, I’ve realized that in the moments when I feel most helpless, God is still there, guiding me. Proverbs 3:5-6 urges us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Yet, when I’m consumed by struggle, I don’t always recognize His guidance right away. My helplessness often stems from my lack of trust, which clouds my ability to see or hear Him clearly.
That’s why 1 Peter 5:7 encourages us, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” God is always speaking, but when I’m overwhelmed, I struggle to listen. It’s only when I surrender my worries to Him that my perspective shifts. Suddenly, His voice becomes clearer—whether through scripture, a sermon, a passing thought, or even an unexpected conversation. Isaiah 30:21 reminds us of His faithfulness: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.”
The more I walk with God, the more I see that He is always prompting, guiding, and leading me. But if my heart isn’t aligned with Him, I risk drifting into uncertainty. However, when I trust Him fully, I don’t have to fear the unknown, because I know He holds my future. As Jeremiah 29:11 assures, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
So even in uncertain seasons, I can rest in this truth—I am never alone. He holds the future, and He holds my hand. My only job is to trust His heart.
