Feeling like life is falling apart? You’re not alone. In this post, we’ll explore seven practical ways to trust Jesus in tough times and find peace, no matter what you’re facing.

When life feels unravelling—whether it’s a broken relationship, financial struggles, or unanswered prayers—you’re left wondering: “Where is God in this?”

The truth? You’re not alone, and there is always hope. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) This promise is why trusting Jesus changes everything.

1. God Is With You, Even in Hard Times

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19)

Hardships aren’t punishments—they’re a reality of living in a broken world. But here’s the truth: You are never alone. Whether you’re grieving, sick, betrayed, or disappointed, God is in it with you, just as He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire.

2. Don’t Let Spiritual Exhaustion Win

Difficult seasons stir up feelings of:

• Hopelessness
• Lies that God has forgotten you
• Fear of what comes next

The Bible tells us to “take every thought captive to obey Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5). Feelings are valid, but they’re not your truth. Jesus says, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5). Cling to that truth.

3.Trusting Jesus Doesn’t Require Perfection

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

You don’t have to have it all together to trust Jesus. It means choosing Him in your mess:

• Pray even when you don’t have the words.
• Worship through your tears.
• Open your Bible when you feel numb.

These aren’t small acts; they’re declarations of faith. They open the door to peace beyond understanding (Philippians 4:7).

 Personal Story: Trusting Through Uncertainty

In 2020, I was laid off during the pandemic. The world was on pause, and I felt lost. But after months of praying, God led me to a small coastal town, where I took a job at a local food co-op. At first, I didn’t get it. But that detour was exactly where God wanted me. It led to new opportunities and a job I never expected.

Looking back, I see God’s hand at work the entire time.

4.Fully Trusting Jesus in Suffering

When life feels shaky, remember what He’s already done. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

He’s healed, provided, and restored. He’s the same God in your struggle. Your worth isn’t defined by your circumstances but by who He says you are:

• Chosen
• Redeemed
• Deeply loved
• Never alone

5.Bible Verses to Anchor Your Faith

Keep these verses close when you’re feeling weak:

• “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
• “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” (Isaiah 40:31)
• “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
• “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” (Psalm 34:18)
• “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” (Psalm 56:3)

6.What Trusting Jesus Really Changes

When you trust Jesus, you:

• Stop trying to carry the burden alone.
• Rest in knowing He sees what you can’t.
• Live in the truth of Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.”

Trust doesn’t remove pain, but it gives it purpose. With Jesus, trials become temporary seasons, not life sentences.

Let’s Walk This Out Together
