Trusting in God

‘I am excited to see what God has planned.’ I heard these words from a colleague who had lost a full-time job due to company restructuring.

Someone who was unsure of where she would be working the next day was at peace—calm and secure in God’s care.

Within a short time my irritation and anxiety with the cutbacks began to evaporate in the warmth of the trust in God that radiated from this colleague.

From her calm trust in his care for her family, serenity drifted to every corner of the once-unsettled office.

I continue to grow from her example by exchanging my thoughts of worry for belief. I can trust in God to care for me and my family today and in the future.

He delivers peace into the dull routine as well as the most frustrating circumstances.#

As I have learned from this experience, a struggling economy—and even redundancy—does not define a relationship with God.

Even in the midst of unsettling situations, trusting in him can bring perfect peace.

Prayer: Dear Lord, may we learn to trust completely in your care. Amen
