Today, remember that tough times are opportunities to trust God.

It is easy to talk about faith when everything is going well. It is much harder when the road gets uncertain, or pain enters the picture. But those are the moments when trust becomes real. Those are the moments when our strength runs out, and we realize how much we need Him.

God never promised an easy life. He promised His presence. He promised to walk with us through the fire, through the storm, and through every valley we face. When life feels heavy or when nothing seems to be going the way we planned, we can still choose to believe that God is not absent. He is near. He is working in ways we may not see yet.

Hard days can be holy ground if we meet God there. They shape us. They soften us. They show us what we truly depend on. And if we let them, they draw us closer to the One who holds it all together.

Trust does not mean pretending to be okay. It means we bring our whole selves to God and say, “I do not understand this, but I am choosing to believe You are good.” That is faith.

So whatever you face today, whether personal, professional or something you cannot name, let it be an invitation to lean in instead of pull away. Let it remind you that you are not in this alone. Tough times will come. But you do not have to face them without peace. You do not have to face them without God.

Today, remember that He is trustworthy. And when we trust Him, we are never without hope.
