I Still Trust You - April 21, 2025

Scripture:
”When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”
—Psalm 56:3 (NIV)

Devotional:
There are days when the weight of the world feels unbearable. When your body feels foreign. When your mind is racing. When the darkness seems to settle in, and anxiety whispers, “You’re not going to make it.” There are days when the pain—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—feels louder than your prayers. Today may be one of those days. And if it is, you are not alone.

But here’s the truth: faith is not the absence of struggle. Faith is pressing forward in spite of it. You may not feel strong right now. You may not feel bold or courageous or even stable. But there is power in still saying, “Lord, I trust You.” There is victory in choosing worship when your heart is pounding with fear. There is strength in whispering “thank You” when your soul is trembling and you don’t understand what’s happening inside of you.

The truth is: God is not intimidated by your weakness. He is not distant from your despair. He sees you. He knows the storm within. And He is right there—in the middle of your racing thoughts, your heavy chest, your weary faith. He’s not waiting for you to be “okay” again. He’s simply waiting for you to rest in Him. Even now.

If all you can do today is breathe out, “Jesus, I trust You,” that’s enough. That’s worship. That’s faith. Even the mustard seed kind.

Reflection/Challenge:
Today, every time the anxiety rises, say out loud:
“Jesus, I trust You!!!”
Write it down. Speak it. Declare it—even through tears. Let it become your anthem.

Prayer:
Lord, I am tired. I am anxious. I feel overwhelmed. My body feels weak, and my thoughts are heavy. But through it all, I trust You. I don’t always feel strong, but I know that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Help me to breathe. Help me to believe. Help me to hold on even when I don’t understand. You are my refuge, my hope, my peace, and my strength. Carry me through this moment and every moment after. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
