Hebrews 11:1

When Trust Is Hard

1 min readPray slowly
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”Proverbs 3:5

Lord, I want to trust You, but everything in me is bracing for disappointment.

Help my unbelief. Steady the part of me that keeps trying to take the wheel back. Remind me of every time You have already come through, and let that quiet the fear.

I choose to trust You today, not because I can see the way, but because I know the One who holds it. Amen.

Faith is trusting the Maker of the road when you cannot see the bend.
