Trusting God Through Uncertainty

Uncertainty is uncomfortable. It’s unsettling. And if we’re honest, it’s a place most of us try to avoid. But at some point, life brings us there whether it’s through loss, transition, unanswered prayers, or simply a future that looks nothing like we imagined.


I’ve walked through seasons where the path ahead was foggy at best. There were times I couldn’t see the next step, let alone the destination. In those moments, I wrestled with doubt, fear, and control. But I also discovered something far more powerful: a deeper kind of faith.

When the Ground Shifted

One of the most defining moments for me was . Everything I had planned was suddenly uncertain. I kept asking God, “What now?” and all I got in return was silence—or so I thought.

It was in that silence that I was reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6:

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.
- Maria Adegboyega

Letting Go of the “Why”

I realized that I had been chasing answers instead of chasing God. I wanted clarity, but God was calling me to surrender. It’s hard to trust when you don’t understand. But that’s the very essence of faith choosing to believe in what you can’t see yet.

How I Learned to Trust God

Here’s what helped me anchor my trust in God during uncertainty:

  • 1. Daily Surrender in Prayer
    I started every morning by giving God my fears and expectations. I didn’t always feel peace immediately, but consistency taught my heart to trust.
  • 2. Remembering Past Faithfulness
    I wrote down moments when God came through for me in the past. It reminded me that He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever
  • 3. Studying Stories of Faith
    From Abraham to Ruth to Paul—Scripture is full of people who trusted God without knowing the full picture. Their stories built up my own courage.
  • 4. Surrounding Myself With Faithful Voices
    Whether it was a podcast, a mentor, or a quiet worship playlist, I immersed myself in voices that pointed me back to God.

When Trust Leads to Peace

Trusting God doesn’t mean you’ll always have the answers—but it does mean you’ll always have Him. And that truth brings peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Looking back, I’m grateful for the uncertainty. It stripped away my illusions of control and drew me closer to the One who actually holds it all.

Final Thoughts

If you're in a season of not knowing—you're not alone. God sees. He cares. And He's working, even when you can't see it. Trust isn't easy, but it's always worth it.
