Are You Trusting God Through Life’s Trials?
Faith shines brightest when your desire for God overshadows the distractions and difficulties of life. Trusting God through trials requires surrender, allowing Him to carry you through when your strength falters. When your heart seeks to glorify Him above all, even life’s hardest moments become a stage for His faithfulness.
Today, consider where your heart is focused. Are distractions or challenges pulling you away from God? Fix your eyes on Him, trusting that He will sustain you. Let your desire to glorify Him guide your steps, and watch how He turns even your trials into opportunities to reflect His love and grace.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
— Matthew 6:33
