Trusting God in Difficult Times

Trusting God in Difficult Times Rent. Insurance. Student loans. For most of us, it feels like the older we get, the list of things to worry about just keeps getting longer. Jesus tells his followers “not to worry” about their lives. Easy for them, they didn’t have college debt. They just had to catch some fish and chill. Often, trusting God in difficult times sounds so much easier than it is. Sometimes it’s not as easy as finding the perfect “Top 10 Bible verses to calm anxiety.” It’s not our first impulse to turn to God in prayer when stressed. And yet, Jesus cuts straight to the chase, asking us, “Has worrying ever gotten you anywhere?” In the midst of all the things that stress us out, we find an invitation; Jesus asks us to trust that our heavenly Father, who has gotten us this far, will keep taking care of us.
