Trust in God.

 Trust in God

A Reflection on Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 56:3, and Isaiah 26:4

Trust in God—not in the shifting sands of human schemes,

Not in the fragile bridges of our own forgotten dreams.

Trust in the One who holds the stars, who numbers every hair,

Who sees the end before the start, who answers every prayer.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

When the path grows dark and winding, when I cannot see the way,

I will not trust my feeble sight, but on His word I’ll stay.

He makes a way where there is none; He parts the raging sea.

His timing is not mine, but His love will carry me.

Trust—not a passive wish, a hope that drifts in the air,

But an active, clinging confidence that He will be there.

In the valley, on the mountain, in the silence and the roar,

I will trust the One who loved me and who goes before.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. (Psalm 56:3)

Trust in God forever—He is the Rock of Ages,

The Author of salvation, the One who turns the pages

Of my life toward a purpose that my eyes cannot yet see.

I will not lean on my own strength; His grace is enough for me.

So I release my grip on worry, on the need to understand.

I place my hand in Yours, Lord, and I trust Your loving hand.

Trust in God—my anchor, my shield, my song.

In Him I will not be shaken; in Him I am strong.

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. (Isaiah 26:4)

Amen.
