It’s easy enough to say you trust God
when the “big things” in life go your way.
For trust is a word you know and believe
and hold for the moments you pray.
But when life gets hard and things fall apart
and you’re crying with tears on your sleeve,
God will bring you through crises, trials, and pain
to test what you really believe.
When you’re tired and lonely and seeking a spouse
as you wait on the mate that God chooses;
God will draw you to himself as you trust in His timing
and respect the methods He uses.
When you quietly trust in the midst of great heartache
to believe God works all things for good,
You are looking at His sovereignty instead of your circumstance
and surrendering what’s not understood.
When you’re slighted & overlooked for what’s “rightfully yours”
-trusting God will reveal what to do.
And trusting will pull you into the wisdom of heaven
as God shows His great glory to you.
Trusting God through the losses that send your heart reeling
will give strength to each prayer as you call;
Till you come to realize it’s not losses or success
but it’s knowing your God through it all.
Trusting God blindly no matter what happens
looks foolish to those who don’t know.
But to the redeemed….who believe God by faith
-trusting is what makes our faith grow.

It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in princes
Psalm 118:8-9
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in the LORD.
Psalm 4:5
