“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you sometimes struggle with worry and anxiety? Me too. However, the proverb above challenges us to shift our focus and pursuits. It encourages us to take a moment to examine what truly matters. We are called to seek the right counsel and consider what is important.

The final difference between one leader and another is often determined by how much pressure they can endure. When a leader is strong, their presence radiates calm, confidence, and courage.

But where can we find such strength? Isn’t it through faith? Yet, faith in what? The strength and usefulness of our faith are only as powerful as the object in which we place it.

You place faith in the chair you’re sitting in right now. But do you have faith that the chair can do more than hold your weight? Can it teach you finance? Can it help you plan your next career move? Of course not. Your faith in the chair is limited to its ability to support your weight.

Acquiring Strength by Trusting God

Placing your trust in God brings benefits both for today and for eternity. Right now, you live within a created time and space that sustains your life. Yet, when you die, you will continue to live, but outside of time and space. Therefore, regardless of what today or the future holds, you are literally in the hands of your Creator.

Trusting in God means resting in the truth that He created you for a purpose—and it is a good purpose. It means believing that your life and concerns matter to Him. To trust in God is to pursue Him in all matters of life and death, recognizing Him as your ultimate source of wisdom, strength, and comfort.

When you trust God for who he is and what he is doing and what he will do, your anxiety vanishes because you know you’re in good hands.
