Trusting God When You're Still Waiting

Trust is easy to talk about when something recently worked out. This is for the other situation.

When He feels far

When God feels silent — for prayer that seems to land nowhere.

When it doesn't add up

Trusting God when nothing makes sense — for circumstances you cannot reconcile with a good God.

When the waiting outlasts you

When you're tired of waiting on God — for the point where you quietly stopped asking.

What trust is not

Trust is not certainty. It is not pretending you understand. It is not the absence of the question.

“For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come.…”Habakkuk 2:3, WEB (excerpt)

That was said to a man who had just finished complaining to God at length. God didn't correct the complaint. He answered it.
