Day 11: Trust in Him
by Javier & Reyna Jauregui
Craig Groeschel once said,
“It's comforting to know that God is working in all things” (even those that are difficult or confusing) to bring about good. It may not feel good in the moment, but we can trust that God is always working.”
Many people start the new year with great excitement, hopeful for the future, and ready for a new beginning. But maybe 2024 wasn’t the best year. Maybe it was filled with disappointments and frustrations, loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, loss of a family member due to indifference, or a child due to drugs and addiction. The list goes on. As humans, it’s painful. It feels like the whole world is falling apart and there’s no way out, or at least not in sight. But as you read this, remember to praise Him in those difficult moments. As you praise Him, trust in Him. He knows you and sees you. Remember that He is the prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6). The peace that no one else can provide.
The scripture says in Psalm 30:5, “...Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (AMPC). May 2025 be the year that we choose to find joy with Jesus by our side.
Prayer:
"Jesus, I come to you with my heavy heart, my worries and my pain, and I lay them at your feet. I praise your holy name in these dark moments knowing that you are bigger than any problem I am facing. Guide me, Lord, and lead me to you. Let me remember You. Let me run to You when it feels like there’s no way out. I give you all my troubles, and doubts, Lord. Let me find joy in You, and praise You for who you are. Amen."
