trusting, even when it’s hard

Trusting in God can be so difficult. Last Spring, I decided to come back to Wheaton to be a music major, yet again. This after I had convinced myself that psychology was the route for me. Sometimes, it takes things like mono and depression for God to redirect one’s course. Looking back, I am grateful for both. God used hardship in my life to slow me down and cause me to reflect.
This past semester has been difficult, and I have doubted my abilities so many times. But through it all, God has been faithful. He’s always provided when I need to be provided for, always affirmed when I need affirming, and helped move me along when I need a nudge.
I still have leaps and bounds to grow in the area of trusting in God. I still, all too often, think that my own plans are better than His. I still often fall flat on my face. However, it is during those particular times that He is right there, ready to pick me up.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
-Psalm 37:3-6 ESV
