How to Trust God When Life Falls Apart | Signs He’s Still Working
Beloved, right now you may feel like you’re standing in the middle of a storm. The waves crash, the winds howl, and the world around you seems to be crumbling. But what if I told you that in the midst of this chaos, your miracle is already on its way? Yes, even now, God is working behind the scenes, preparing to move in your life in ways you can’t yet imagine. Stay with me until the end, because what you’re about to hear may just unlock the breakthrough you've been waiting for.
Where is God in My Pain?
There are moments in life when everything feels overwhelming. Maybe it’s a health crisis, financial struggles, or relationships falling apart. We find ourselves asking, “God, where are You in all of this? Why am I going through this pain?”
God Has Not Abandoned You
But here's what you need to know: God has not abandoned you. Right now, in the midst of your trials, He is closer than ever. He sees every tear, hears every silent prayer, and knows the burden you carry in your heart. You are not alone in this storm, and your story is far from over.
Trust God in the Storm
If you believe that God is walking with you through every challenge, say with confidence, “I trust You, Lord, even in the storm.”
God’s Light Shines Brightest in the Darkness
Let me remind you of something powerful: in the darkest moments, God’s light shines the brightest. When the disciples were caught in a storm, terrified and feeling hopeless, Jesus calmed the seas with just a word. He is ready to do the same for you—if you trust Him.
Bring Your Miracle Before God
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes for a moment and think about the miracle you need right now. It could be healing, restoration, or peace of mind. Whatever it is, bring it before God with faith. You didn’t click on this video by accident. God brought you here because He has a message for you.
Open Your Heart to God’s Miracle
Declare this with faith: “I open my heart to receive God’s miracle in my life today.”
God is Close to the Brokenhearted
Remember this: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). Right now, as you listen, God is drawing near to you. Even in the moments when He seems silent, He is working. His timing is perfect, and the miracle you’re seeking may be closer than you think.
God Speaks in the Silence
Sometimes, we’re so caught up in our problems that we miss the whisper of God’s voice. But I want to assure you—He’s speaking to you right now. He’s telling you, “My beloved child, I see your pain, and I am with you. Trust in Me, for I am working all things for your good.”
Trust in God’s Goodness
If you believe that God is working behind the scenes for your good, type “I believe” in the comments.
Your Struggles Are Part of Your Testimony
In the middle of life’s battles, it’s easy to lose hope. But the challenges you face today are not the end of your story—they are the beginning of your testimony. Each struggle is shaping you, preparing you for something greater. The Bible says, “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). You are not just surviving—you are conquering.
Reflect on God’s Faithfulness
Now, take a moment and reflect. Hasn’t God already carried you through so many storms? Think about the times when you thought you wouldn’t make it, but here you are—still standing. That’s God’s hand on your life. And He’s not done with you yet.
Gratitude for God’s Help
Say out loud: “God, thank You for every battle You’ve already helped me win.”
Your Miracle is on the Way
Your miracle is closer than you think. It may not come in the way you expect, but God’s plans are always higher and greater than ours. So don’t give up. Keep your faith strong. The storm may rage, but you are safe in the arms of the One who commands the winds and the waves.
Why Does God Allow Suffering and Silence During Our Trials?
“My child, have you ever cried out in the darkness of your suffering, only to be met with silence? Have you felt the weight of your pain so deeply that it seemed like heaven itself had closed its doors to your prayers? In moments like these, it’s easy to wonder why God allows such suffering. But what if His silence isn’t abandonment? What if His silence is where the greatest transformation begins?”
God’s Silence is Not Absence
When life falls apart, and suffering surrounds us, it feels like God is distant, leaving us to struggle alone. But let me share something that might surprise you: God’s silence is often the backdrop for His most profound work in our lives. Remember the story of Job? He lost everything—his wealth, his health, even his children—and all he heard was silence. Yet, behind that silence, God was crafting a story of redemption, one that would restore Job’s life beyond what he ever imagined.
God is Working Behind the Scenes
You may be in your own season of silence right now, wondering why your prayers seem unanswered. But know this: silence does not mean absence. God's love for you has never wavered, even if it feels like He's quiet. Sometimes, He is silent because He is preparing something far greater than what you can see. In those moments, He is not far; He is drawing you closer to Himself, refining your faith.
If you believe God is still with you, even in the silence, declare these words with faith: “God, I trust You, even when I cannot hear You.”
A Promise of Renewed Strength
In the book of Isaiah, we find a powerful promise: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31). Even in your suffering, God is working to renew your strength, to prepare you for a greater purpose. Sometimes, the silence is God’s way of deepening your reliance on Him.
The Seed Beneath the Earth
Think about a seed buried beneath the earth. It’s dark, it’s silent, and it feels isolated. But beneath that silence, life is stirring. The seed must first break, its shell shattered, before it can grow into the mighty tree it’s meant to become. Your suffering may feel like that breaking process, but out of it, God is creating something new, something powerful.
How Can I Trust God When Things Are Falling Apart?
“When everything around you is crumbling—when your health fails, relationships break down, or your dreams seem to slip through your fingers—how do you trust God in the middle of the chaos? How do you hold onto faith when your world is falling apart? Stay with me, because what you are about to hear may just be the answer you’ve been seeking.”
Peter Walking on Water: A Lesson in Trust
There is a story that often gets overlooked—the story of Peter walking on water. It wasn’t until Peter stepped out of the boat, into the storm, that he began to sink. But as the waves threatened to overtake him, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" (Matthew 14:30). In that instant, Jesus reached out His hand and caught Peter. It wasn’t until Peter was in the middle of the storm that he truly understood what it meant to trust God.
Jesus is Reaching Out to You
Right now, you may feel like Peter—stepping into waters too deep for you to manage on your own. But here’s the truth: Jesus is already reaching out His hand to you. He knows the storm you’re facing. He sees the waves rising against you, but He’s asking you to trust Him. Not because everything is perfect, but because He is the only one who can calm the storm.
Declare Your Trust in the Storm
Declare this: “I choose to trust God, even in the storm.”
Trusting God Means Letting Go
So how do you trust God when things are falling apart? You let go of the need to understand everything. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Sometimes, trust is about surrender. It’s about letting go of your grip on what you think should happen and allowing God to lead you through the unknown.
A Story of Trust in the Midst of Loss
A woman once shared her story with me—she lost her job, her home, and her marriage all within the span of a few months. Everything she had built seemed to collapse overnight. But through tears and countless prayers, she said, "It was when I had nothing left that I realized God was everything I needed." She learned to trust God, not because He immediately restored what was lost, but because she found that He was her refuge in the storm.
God Rebuilds What is Broken
If you are facing a moment where everything feels like it’s falling apart, remember that God specializes in rebuilding what is broken. He doesn’t just patch the cracks—He builds something stronger, something more beautiful than before.
Declare Your Faith in God's Rebuilding
If you believe that God can rebuild what is broken, write these words in the comments: “God, rebuild my life in Your perfect way.”
Trusting God in the Hardest Moments
Trusting God doesn’t mean you won’t face hard times. It means believing that He is with you, even in the hardest moments. It means knowing that His plans for you are good, even when life seems anything but good. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Hold onto that hope, even when everything around you is shaking.
How Do I Keep My Faith When I Feel Abandoned by God?
“Have you ever reached a moment in your life when you felt like God had left you? Maybe you’ve cried out, only to be met with silence. The pain lingers, the prayers go unanswered, and the darkness seems to close in. It feels like God has abandoned you, but what if I told you that even in the silence, God is closer than ever before?”
Even Heroes of Faith Felt Abandoned
There are times in our spiritual journey when it feels like God has hidden His face from us. David, a man after God’s own heart, experienced this deep sense of abandonment. In Psalm 13:1, David cries out, “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” If you’ve ever felt this way, you are not alone. Even the greatest heroes of faith have walked through seasons where God seems distant.
God Has Never Left Your Side
But here’s the truth: God has never left your side. His silence is not a sign of His absence, but rather a season of trust. You see, faith is not built when we always feel God’s presence; it’s forged in the moments when we can’t feel Him but still believe He’s there. God’s silence often calls us to go deeper, to seek Him more earnestly, to trust Him beyond what we can see or feel.
God Will Never Forsake You
If you are in a season of silence, hold onto this truth: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Even when you can’t see Him, God is right there, walking with you through every valley. He has not abandoned you; He is strengthening your faith.
Declare Your Trust in God During the Silence
Declare with faith: “God, even in the silence, I choose to trust You.”
Elijah's Story: Hearing God in the Whisper
Consider the story of Elijah. After a great victory on Mount Carmel, he found himself fleeing from threats, feeling utterly abandoned and alone. He cried out, “God, I’ve had enough. Just take my life!” (1 Kings 19:4). But it was in that very moment of despair that God spoke to him—not in a loud thunder, not in an earthquake, but in a gentle whisper. Elijah learned that God was with him all along, even when it felt like He had disappeared.
Listen for the Whisper
So if you feel abandoned, listen for the whisper. God is still speaking, even in the quietest moments. Trust that He is carrying you, even when you feel too weak to walk. Faith doesn’t always mean you’ll feel God’s presence, but it means you trust that He’s still working on your behalf.
What Are the Signs That God is Working Behind the Scenes?
“There are moments in life when it feels like nothing is happening, when our prayers seem to fall flat, and the breakthrough we’re waiting for seems out of reach. But what if I told you that God is moving in ways you cannot yet see? What if, right now, He is orchestrating something far greater than you could ever imagine?”
God's Hand in the Book of Esther
Sometimes, the greatest miracles are happening in the background, out of our sight. In the book of Esther, God’s name is never mentioned, but His fingerprints are all over the story. Esther’s rise to queen, Mordecai’s defiance of Haman, and the eventual deliverance of the Jews were all part of God’s divine plan, even when it seemed like He was silent. He was working behind the scenes, placing people in the right positions, moving hearts, and aligning circumstances for His glory.
Trusting God When You Can't See the Whole Picture
You might be in a situation where it feels like nothing is happening, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t moving. Romans 8:28 reminds us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Even when it seems like your life is on pause, God is putting all the pieces together, preparing you for something you cannot yet comprehend.
Declare Your Faith in God's Timing
If you believe that God is working behind the scenes in your life, declare: “God, I trust Your timing, even when I can’t see the whole picture.”
A Testimony of God's Work Behind the Scenes
A friend once shared her testimony with me. She had prayed for years for a job that would give her both stability and purpose. For a long time, nothing seemed to change, and she began to lose hope. But what she didn’t know was that God had been setting things in motion behind the scenes. A company that she had never considered reached out to her, offering her a position that not only met her needs but exceeded her expectations. God was working all along, even when she couldn’t see it.
God is Preparing Your Breakthrough
This is the nature of our God. Just because you don’t see the breakthrough right now doesn’t mean He isn’t working. You may be waiting for a door to open, but God is preparing the path that will lead you to that door. He’s aligning the right people, the right opportunities, and the right timing for your life.
Trust in God's Perfect Plan
Say with confidence: “I trust that God is preparing my breakthrough.”
Look for the Small Signs of God's Guidance
When you’re wondering if God is really at work, look at the small signs around you. Maybe it’s a conversation you had with someone that opened up new possibilities. Maybe it’s a door that closed, preventing you from going down the wrong path. These are all signs that God is guiding you, even when it feels like He’s quiet. Trust that His plan is unfolding exactly as it should.
