“What’s next?” A friend asked me this question the other day, and I shrugged my shoulders and said, “I have absolutely no idea.” Right now, I don’t know if I am coming or going. I can’t make plans or really think about much because I feel like I am at a standstill in my life. I am hostage to circumstances that are out of my control. I feel like I am waiting for either the biggest miracle of my life to happen at the last minute or the worst disaster to crush me. These are uncertain times, and I don’t know what’s next. 

I’m living in the messy in-between as I wait for my miracle. Will God answer my prayer the way I want Him to answer? Maybe. Maybe not. I just don’t know.  

Here is what I do know: God is God, and I am not. I don’t get to decide what’s next in this complicated situation. My job is to trust God is in control. My job is to remember He is a good Father who cares about me. My job is to wait for HIs perfect timing and not freak out in the meantime.  

I am working on that not freaking out part. Some days, I do better than others.  

Feeling out of control during uncertain times can make us question everything. We look up to heaven and ask “Why God?” Why aren’t you turning this around? When we don’t understand what God is doing, our faith can sometimes start losing its footing. We are shaken. Nothing seems sure anymore.  

I am so tired of telling people “I don’t know,” but the truth is I am a little scared. Circumstances are subject to change at any moment in this broken world. I feel completely incapable of handling it all. But thankfully, I can trust my God holds my whole world in His mighty hands.  

As I wait and pray for God to turn things around, I am trying to remind myself that there are some things in my life that I can know for sure. Even in uncertain times, some truths are absolute and unchanging.  

Maybe like me, you are fighting hard to keep the faith when things aren’t going your way. If you need a little pep talk to keep going, I want to share 3 unchanging truths that are helping me find courage during this most uncertain season.

Here’s 3 Things You Can Know for Sure Today:  

God fits everything that happens in your life into His best plan for you.

 God is able to orchestrate every event in your life into something beautiful and redemptive in the end.

• “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Everything you’ve placed in God’s hands is safe and secure.  

God will protect everything you surrender to His care. 

• “…for I know Whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.” (2 Timothy 1:12, ESV)

Nothing you do for the the Lord is ever useless.

You are never wasting your time when you are serving Jesus.  

• “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” (I Corinthians 15:58)
