Let us confidently say “I trust the Lord.”
On the surface, maybe that sounds easy. It’s a phase that is heard a lot. It may be more difficult to trust God – with the things going on in this world, with the things going on in your life, with the things going on the life of the people you love. Trust God with the past, with the present, and with the future.
God has promised good things to those who put their lives in his hands.
