(no title)

Do you struggle trusting God? I do. Especially when life is hard and I can’t see beyond the difficulties surrounding me, I start to wonder if God cares. My mind wrestles with the truth I know and the hurt I feel. I know he is good, but will he be good to me?

Over time, the Lord graciously opened my eyes to the beauty of surrender. Through wandering valleys of disappointment and defeat, I found what I was longing for most: him.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”

~ Proverbs 13:12
