This is actually an old post. But, I decided to republish it. I hope it blesses someone.
Jesus Says, “Put Your Trust in Me”. Trust is all you need!
I was just sitting in silence, letting my thoughts wander. You ever have one of those moments where you’re not even trying to reflect, but the weight of life just sort of floats to the surface?
That’s where I was—thinking about how life moves in swoops and strokes.
One moment, things seem fine. Not perfect, but manageable. Calm. At least calm for you. Then suddenly—SWOOP!—the phone rings, the diagnosis comes, the door slams, or the peace shatters.
Life has a way of changing without warning. What felt secure one day can become uncertain the next. That’s the human condition.
But thank God, we serve a Savior who is not shaken by change. Jesus says, “Put your trust in Me.”
A Scare That Hit Close to Home
Not long ago, my mom was rushed to the hospital. The doctors suspected a heart attack. The very words made my stomach sink.
For a moment, I froze. My heart raced. Fear tried to take hold of me.
Praise God, it wasn’t a heart attack—but it was enough to keep her in the hospital for a series of tests. Enough to stir old memories. Enough to resurrect deep, familiar fears.
You see, I’ve lost several close family members to sudden heart failure. I know what it’s like to love someone and then lose them in a moment. So when the nurse explained what was going on with Mom, my mind raced to the worst-case scenarios.
The kind of fear I used to live with started knocking at the door again. Years ago, this would have sent me spiraling. I would have spent sleepless nights refreshing my phone, crying on bathroom floors, or walking aimlessly around hospital corridors hoping for peace.
But I’m not the woman I used to be.
But God.
That’s the only explanation I can offer for the calm that covered me like a blanket that day.
But God.
He has brought me through enough trials and tears to know that His hand is steady—even when mine shakes. Jesus has proven Himself over and over again. In seasons of loss, in times of transition, and in the moments that make you question if you’ll ever breathe easy again—He was there.
He is always there.
Jesus doesn’t just tell us to trust Him—He earns that trust every single day.
He’s never lost control. Not once.
When life takes a turn, God doesn’t jump up from His throne in shock. He isn’t pacing heaven’s floor, wringing His hands in confusion. He isn’t asking the angels, “What are we going to do?”
No. The Bible tells us He sits enthroned. That image means everything to me—because it implies power, stability, and control. Even when the earth shakes, God remains seated. Unmoved. Unshaken.
Trusting God does not guarantee that our desires will occur, but it is the best way to show faith in Jesus.
Learning to Trust Isn’t a One-Time Decision
Here’s the thing: trusting God doesn’t mean you don’t feel fear. It means you choose faith over fear. Sometimes, minute by minute.
But trust is all you need.
It’s waking up and saying, “Lord, I don’t know what today will bring, but I trust You anyway.”
It’s sitting in hospital rooms and saying, “Jesus, You’re here with me, and I won’t let go of Your hand.”
It’s reading reports, facing losses, watching people walk away, and still choosing to believe that God is good—and He is for you.
That’s not easy. But it’s possible.
And it’s exactly what I had to do. I stayed close to Him in that hospital room. I opened my Bible. I whispered prayers. I pushed away fear. I declared scriptures like lifelines. I reminded myself:
“Those who know your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.” — Psalm 9:10
As a Christian, trust is all you need.
Healing, Hope, and a Future
By the grace of God, my mother came home. And I don’t say that lightly. I mean it with every fiber of my being—by the grace of God.
He sustained her, and He sustained me.
And the beautiful part? The journey didn’t end there.
I’m writing this now—months later—and my mom is not only doing well, but she’s thriving. Driving, laughing, talking too loud in restaurants (just like always), and living her full life at 84 years young.
She’s not just surviving. She’s flourishing. And I’m praising God for every single day we get to enjoy her smile.
Trusting Jesus Today: Trust is All You Need, Christian Sister!
I want to encourage you today—whatever your “swoop” is, whatever moment you didn’t see coming—God saw it before it reached you. He’s already gone ahead of you.
He doesn’t promise a storm-free life, but He does promise peace in the middle of it.
He doesn’t promise ease, but He does promise His presence.
And more than anything, He promises to never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
So trust Him.
Trust Him when it hurts.
Trust Him when it’s quiet.
Trust Him when you’re tired.
Trust Him when it looks impossible.
Because He’s trustworthy.
And one day, you’ll be telling someone your story too—how you made it through, how Jesus carried you, how trust became your survival tool and your testimony.
Still Trusting. Still Standing. Still Praising.
This isn’t just a cute Christian saying for me—this is my life. This is how I live.
One moment at a time.
One prayer at a time.
One trust decision at a time.
Because Jesus said, “Put your trust in Me.”
And I believe Him.
