We often speak with so much hope and faith as believers, about each coming new year that we are graced to enter.
Currently, in some parts of the world, it feels so dark and traumatic right now.
But even so, regardless of what is happening, we still ought to trust the one who is control of our lives, the one who’s name will still remain true and faithful till eternity.
The one who forever remains close to the broken hearted, and anyone crushed in their spirit. Regardless of the circumstances going on right now, He is still the Lord of all nations.
And when we are hurt in our spirit, and unsure of what He is doing, it is my prayer that we still remain faithful and ask Him to give us eyes to see the bigger picture of His greater plan for Humanity.
In the midst of our struggles, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that God is somehow responsible for the pain we endure.
We wrestle with loss, disappointment, heartbreak, and confusion, and in our moments of weakness, we question the very presence of the divine in our lives.
How could a loving God allow such suffering? Why does He seem silent when we cry out for help?
But here’s the truth that I’ve come to realize: God is not the cause of our suffering; He is the solution.
We live in a broken world, a world where pain and hardship are part of the human experience. These struggles are not because God wills them to happen, but because of the choices we make as individuals and as a collective society.
From the beginning of time, humanity has had free will. That gift, while beautiful, also comes with the weight of responsibility.
We are free to make decisions, but those decisions can lead to harm, whether we inflict it upon ourselves or others.
However, God’s role is not to stand back and watch us suffer; He is with us in our pain.
He is the One who comes to heal, to restore, to comfort. In the darkest hours of our lives, when we feel most alone, God’s presence is the light that shines through the cracks of our brokenness.
He doesn’t abandon us in our despair; He enters into it with us.
God is not the architect of our troubles, but He is the redeemer. He is the one who sees our suffering and says, “I am here. I am with you.”
Through His love, He brings peace in the midst of chaos, hope in the face of hopelessness, and healing to wounded hearts.
In His wisdom, He allows us to face challenges, but always with the promise that we are never alone. We are never beyond the reach of His love.
There is a profound beauty in this understanding: that God, in His mercy, doesn’t leave us to figure it out on our own. In the moments when life seems unbearable, He offers us grace.
He whispers in the quiet places of our hearts, reminding us that He is our refuge and strength, our very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1.

When we experience heartache, when the storms of life rage, we can turn to God, not as the one who caused our pain, but as the one who understands it fully and is actively working in our lives to bring restoration.
He is the peace in the storm, the hope that transcends all understanding. He is the answer to our questions, the balm for our wounds, and the strength to carry on when we feel like giving up.
No matter how far we stray or how deep our suffering runs, God is there, calling us back to His embrace.
He is not the source of the chaos around us; He is the steady anchor that holds us when the world feels like it is falling apart.
His love, grace, and mercy are the solutions to the deepest problems of the human soul.
So, when you find yourself struggling, remember: God is not the cause of your pain, but He is the ultimate solution. Lean into Him, trust in His goodness, and allow Him to transform your heart. For in Him, we find the peace and hope that transcends every trial.
God is not the cause of our suffering; He is the source of our healing. And in that, there is boundless grace
It’s a deeply human struggle, a paradox of faith. We are told to trust God, to believe that He is good, that He is in control, and that He works all things together for our good.
But when we’re living through pain, those truths can feel distant, almost unreachable.
I understand. I’ve been there, feeling the ache of unanswered prayers, the sting of loss, the frustration of waiting for something to change, or the confusion of wondering if God even hears our cries.
It’s in these moments, when we’re faced with the harsh realities of life, that trust becomes a challenge. But it’s also in these moments that trust holds the deepest significance.
Trusting in the Unseen
The first thing we have to remember is that trust isn’t based on understanding. It’s not about having all the answers or knowing why things are happening the way they are.
Trust is a choice, a decision to believe in God’s goodness, even when the circumstances around us scream otherwise.
Think about it this way: when a child falls and gets hurt, they might not understand the pain, but they trust that their parent will comfort them and help them heal.
In the same way, we don’t have to have all the answers or understand every painful detail of our situation.
We simply need to trust that God is holding us, guiding us, and working in the unseen places.
Trusting in God’s Timing
Another critical aspect of trust is understanding that God’s timing is different from our own.
In the midst of hardship, it’s easy to want a quick fix, to wish that God would step in immediately and make everything right.
But sometimes, the waiting is a necessary part of the process. Trusting God means believing that His timing is perfect, even when we don’t see it.
He sees the bigger picture, the whole story, and we have to believe that He is doing something in us, even when it feels like nothing is happening.
It’s in the waiting that our faith is refined. It’s in the waiting that we learn to lean on Him in ways we never could when things were easy.
Trusting God means surrendering the timeline and saying, “Even if I don’t get what I want right now, I will trust that You know what’s best for me.”

Trusting in His Presence
When bad things happen, it’s easy to feel abandoned. The silence from God can be deafening. But the truth is, God never leaves us. His presence is constant, even when we can’t feel it.
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
God doesn’t stand far off when we suffer; He draws near to us. He weeps with us, comforts us, and holds us through the storm.
I know it’s hard to feel God’s presence when everything is falling apart. But sometimes, trust means holding on, even when we can’t sense Him in the moment.
It’s saying, “I don’t feel You right now, but I know You are here.” It’s choosing to believe, even when the circumstances don’t support our belief, that God is with us every step of the way.
Trusting in His Goodness
Finally, trusting God through difficult times is a declaration of His goodness. When everything around us feels chaotic or unjust, it’s hard to remember that God is good.
But He is. He is good even when life isn’t. He is good even when our hearts are broken. He is good even when we can’t see the way forward.
The cross is the ultimate reminder of His goodness. In the darkest, most painful moment in human history, when Jesus hung on the cross, God was at His most loving, most sacrificial, and most good.
He was, in that moment, doing the very thing that would bring us healing and redemption. Even in our darkest moments, God is working for our ultimate good.
A Choice to Trust
Trusting God when bad things are happening isn’t easy. It requires vulnerability, faith, and sometimes an act of will.
But it is in these moments that we are given the opportunity to experience God’s faithfulness in ways that will deepen our trust and grow our faith.
Trust isn’t passive; it’s an active choice to believe that God is who He says He is, even when the circumstances beg to differ.
If you’re in a place of pain, I encourage you to make the choice to trust. It won’t be easy, but God sees you. He knows your heartache.
And He is with you in it. Even when life feels unbearable, His presence is a source of hope, His timing is always perfect, and His goodness will never fail.
You don’t have to have all the answers or understand everything. You only need to trust that God is good, that He is near, and that He is working on your behalf, even when you can’t see it.
Trust Him; He is faithful.
