Trusting God in Troubled Times

Good morning My Ekklesia Family

Trusting God in Troubled Times

Isaiah 26:3-4 (NLT)

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.”

Picture a GPS rerouting in traffic. You took a wrong turn. You’re delayed. Construction blocked the usual route. But the GPS doesn’t panic—it recalculates. You might not know where you're going, but if you trust the voice, you’ll still arrive.

God is your divine GPS. Even when you hit detours—He doesn’t abandon you. He redirects, renews, and restores.

Isaiah was speaking to people who knew instability. Yet, he proclaims that those who keep their minds stayed on God will have perfect peace. The original Hebrew repeats the word “shalom” twice—signifying completeness and divine serenity, not absence of trouble.

Trusting God means not letting fear or failure be louder than your faith.

Don’t let detours discourage you. God still knows the destination.

Keep your spiritual ears tuned to His voice, even if the scenery looks unfamiliar.

Every delay might be divine protection.

Fix your thoughts not on the problem, but on the Promise-keeper.

Heavenly Father, our God of peace, thank You for guiding us even when life feels off course. Teach us to trust Your timing, Your direction, and Your love. Quiet every fear that screams louder than faith. Help us listen, follow, and believe. You’ve never failed us—and You won’t start now.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

If you feel lost, if you’ve made wrong turns, if you’re tired of figuring it out alone—Jesus is saying, “Recalculating… follow Me.” Come and trust Him today. The road may be rough, but the Guide is sure and the destination is secure.
