Resting while trusting

Summary“Resting While Trusting” is a reminder that true faith means trusting God even when the storm hasn’t passed and the answers haven’t come. Once we have prayed and placed our concerns in God’s hands, we must learn to leave them there. Worry cannot change tomorrow, but it can steal today’s peace. Just as Jesus was able to sleep during the storm, we can learn to rest knowing that God is still in control.Sometimes faith looks like praying. Sometimes faith looks like waiting. And sometimes faith simply looks like closing your eyes and saying, “God, I trust You enough to sleep.”TakeawaysWhy worry if you prayed, and why pray if you’re going to worry?Give your burdens to God and resist the temptation to pick them back up.Resting during difficult seasons is an act of faith and surrender.God can give you peace even before He changes your circumstances.You don’t have to understand what God is doing to trust what He is doing.Don’t allow tomorrow’s concerns to rob you of tonight’s rest.When worry returns, remind yourself: “I already prayed about it.
