Sometimes, life feels like a puzzle with missing pieces. We see glimpses of what God is doing, but we can’t quite put it all together. In those moments, we might find ourselves saying, “God, can You just show me the full picture already?” Yet, in His wisdom, God reveals things step by step, teaching us to trust Him and grow in faith.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Trusting God means surrendering the need to know everything and believing that He is guiding you, even when it’s not clear.
God’s process is not meant to frustrate us but to grow us. He uses the waiting, the learning, and even the confusion to draw us closer to Him. When we surrender to His timing and lean into His presence, we begin to see that He’s been working all along, connecting the dots in ways we couldn’t imagine.
Today, take a deep breath and trust the process. God is faithful, and He is working behind the scenes to lead you into His perfect plan.
Question to Ponder:
What area of your life is God asking you to trust Him with today, even if you don’t yet see the full picture?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for always working in my life, even when I don’t understand the full picture. Teach me to trust Your process and to lean on You instead of my own understanding. Help me to rest in Your presence and to have faith that You are leading me in the right direction. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
