Trusting God Through Change: When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned

Trusting God through change is one of those things that sounds simple until life actually starts changing and you realize quickly how much you liked the way things were.
Most of the time, it is not a huge change. It is subtle. Something just feels a bit different. A door does not open the way you expected. Something that once felt comfortable suddenly doesn’t anymore, and you are left sitting there trying to make sense of something that has not fully made sense yet.
And if you are anything like me, your first instinct is to start figuring it out instead of slowing down and trusting Him in it.
When things don’t line up like you thought they would
Here is what I am learning… not every change means something is wrong. Sometimes God is not fixing something, He is just moving things around a little bit.
And just because it feels uncertain to you does not mean it is uncertain to Him. He already sees what is ahead, even when you are still trying to understand what is right in front of you.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” — Isaiah 55:8–9
So if things feel a little off right now, maybe this isn’t the moment to try and force it back into what you thought it was supposed to be, maybe it’s just the moment where you take a breath and say, “Okay Lord… I trust You here too,” not because you understand it, but because you trust Him.
