“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matt. 6:34). Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the command center aboard an extremely large ship. Toward the end of the tour, the captain asked if I would like to sit in his seat. As I sat down, I couldn’t help but be amazed at all the skill and expertise necessary to safely run this vessel. My friends who were with me took several pictures of me looking like I was in control.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1, NIVOne afternoon, I was sitting on the ocean shore. When I’m wondering where God is, His creation always seems to have a message about Him, if I pay close enough attention.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). I feel the most unsettled when I’m uncertain about the future. I suspect many of you are also facing circumstances that have left you feeling caught off guard and unsure about what tomorrow holds. Maybe you’re in a job where you feel unfulfilled, and you think that God is leading you somewhere else, but He hasn’t yet revealed what’s next.

“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” (Isa. 30:21). Can I trust this person? is a big question. The more we feel pressured, internally or externally, to give a definitive answer, the riskier the outcome will feel. How can you know that someone who has broken your trust is now at a place to be responsible with your trust? It will take time. The bigger the betrayal that took place, the longer the repair will take.

I’ve been studying the topic of trust lately. And what I’ve realized is that I attach a great deal of my trust in God to my desire for things to turn out like I think they should. I want the goodness of God to compel Him to fix things, change minds, prevent hurt, punish the bad, and vindicate the good on my timeline. I want the goodness of God to make people who do hurtful things say they are sorry and then act better, do better, be better.

By , Op-ed contributor “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (James 5:16b NIV). I have to admit I'm sometimes scared to pray boldly. It's not at all that I don't believe God can do anything. I absolutely do. I'm a “wild about Jesus” kind of girl. Wild in my willingness. Wild in my obedience. Wild in my adventures with God. So, my hesitation isn't rooted in any kind of doubt about God. It's more rooted in a doubt about myself and my ability to absolutely discern the will of God.

By , Op-ed contributor “I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust'” – (Psalm 91:2)In my head, I know God is my Protector. But sometimes my heart struggles to feel protected by God. At some point in our lives, most of us have experienced some kind of tragedy, extreme heartbreak, rejection, abandonment, or discouragement where we thought life was going one way and then it was hijacked. In these moments, it’s tempting to wonder, Has God just looked away?
