What does it mean to trust God when you don’t understand what He is doing?

Trusting God is more than believing He will give us the outcome we want. It means confidently relying on who God is and what He has said, even when we cannot see or understand what He is doing.

In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, Lori shares how God has taught her to trust Him through uncertainty, loss, and seasons of waiting. She also addresses the subtle danger of misplaced trust, especially when we are weary and tempted to look to ourselves, another person, or an easier way out for what only God can provide.

You may not know why, how, or when God will answer, but you can know the One you are trusting.
