There are moments in life when nothing seems to add up. You’ve prayed, obeyed, sought the Lord—and still, the outcome doesn’t make sense. Doors close that you thought were open. Answers delay. Pain lingers. The roadmap you thought you had suddenly disappears. And it’s in those moments that the question rises: Can I still trust God when I don’t understand Him?
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 (ESV)
God never promised that our understanding would always align with His direction. He simply said, “Trust Me.” That means we choose faith over clarity. We walk in obedience even when we can’t explain the terrain.
When life doesn’t make sense, that’s not the time to back away—it’s the time to press in. Trust is most powerful when it's hardest to give. That’s where real surrender begins. Not when the path is easy, but when the path is unclear.
Choosing to trust in chaos means we stop trying to control everything. It means we quit writing our own outcomes and start resting in the One who sees the end from the beginning.
God doesn’t ask you to understand—He asks you to follow. And He promises to direct the path. Not always the shortest. Not always the smoothest. But always the one that leads you closer to Him.
When life stops making sense, anchor yourself in what never changes—His character, His promises, His faithfulness.
Question of the Day:
What part of your life right now feels confusing—and how can you submit that place to God’s direction today?
Mini Call to Action:
Write down Proverbs 3:5–6 and say it out loud every time your mind starts chasing answers God hasn’t given yet.
Let’s Pray:
Lord, I choose to trust You. Even when it doesn’t make sense. Even when the path feels unclear. Help me release control and follow where You lead. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Let’s Get To Work!
Clarity may come later—but trust is for right now.
