Sometimes, God gives us a glimpse of His plans for our lives, and then it may get quiet for a time. Trusting Him through quiet and waiting seasons can be challenging, but it’s in these moments that He’s often growing our faith and shaping our character.
🌷 Trusting in His Timing In those quiet moments, it can feel like we’re not hearing from God—or like nothing is happening. But even in the silence, He is at work for your good. God is always shaping and preparing you for the future He has planned. Lean in closer and trust that His plan is unfolding, even if you can’t see it yet.
🌸 Trusting When It’s Hard Whether it’s a season of waiting, uncertainty, or something challenging, keep trusting in the guidance He’s given you before. He is a faithful Father, who loves you greatly. It's also a decision to always believe that God knows what’s best for us, even when we don’t understand why things are happening the way they are. Remember what He’s guided you on before and continue trusting Him.
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV): “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Trust isn’t about understanding everything; it’s about knowing God is faithful to guide us in His timing.
💖 Practical Ways to Trust When You Can’t Hear Him It’s easy to trust when everything is clear, but what do we do when we don’t see where He’s leading or hear Him for a season? Keep trusting Him!
Lean into His presence: Spend time in prayer and reflection. His presence is enough.
Declare your trust: Speak life over your situation by declaring scripture. For example, “My hope is in You, Lord. I trust You, God.”
Stay close: Even if answers aren’t coming quickly, continue seeking Him and trusting His plan.
Even in the quiet, God is at work in you, growing your faith and preparing you for what’s ahead. 🌿
🌸 If you’re looking for extra encouraged in these moments, I’ve created a Mini Devotional with gentle reminders, scripture, prayers, and reflection to help you spend meaningful time with God, even in the waiting seasons. You can find that here!
🙏 Final Thoughts God’s plans for you are good, and in His timing, He is so very loving. Let God know that you trust Him. We are so blessed to have a loving father! Keep trusting, even when you don’t hear Him for a time, and know that He’s always working on your behalf.
🌸 Hold on to scripture that reminds you of God’s promises and His faithfulness. A beautiful example is Sarah, Abraham’s wife, who was promised a child even in her old age. Though time passed and it seemed unlikely, God fulfilled His promise, showing that His timing is always perfect.
A while ago, during a challenging season, I created floral prayer and scripture cards filled with gentle encouragement. They come in a little bag to carry with you, and even include a stand for display. These cards include scripture and prayers perfect for daily encouragement—you can check them out in my shop here!
💖 Remember, you’re never alone. God is with you every step of the way.
