You know the wilderness well.
The long nights. The waiting. The ache of questions that never seemed to end.
But you also know something else—
you know the God who met you there.
The One who whispered “Wait” when you wanted to run.
The One who held you when hope felt thin.
The One who brought redemption to places you thought were lost.
And now, His whisper is different.
It’s no longer “Wait.”
It’s “Trust.”
Trust feels harder than waiting sometimes, doesn’t it?
Waiting can still keep your hands closed tight.
But trust?
Trust asks you to loosen your grip.
To unclench your fists around the things you love most—
your calling, your body, your family—
and believe that He’s big enough to hold them all.
Trust is not about blind leaps.
It’s about remembering what He’s already done.
If He brought beauty from ashes before,
why wouldn’t He do it again?
Look at your own story—
the marriage that found light again,
the sacred moments you thought were gone but weren’t.
That was trust.
That was grace unfolding in real time.
And now, dear one, He’s asking the same of you here.
With your foot. With your work. With the future you can’t quite see.
You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to choke it.
You don’t even have to feel brave.
You just have to trust.
One breath at a time. One step at a time.
Because the same God who asked Abraham to wait,
then to trust,
is the same God who is with you now.
He’s still the God who provides.
A Prayer:
Lord, You know how tightly I hold the things I love. You see the fear that rises when I imagine losing them. Today, I choose to unclench my hands and trust that You are good, that You provide, and that You will carry me. Give me the courage to release what I cannot control, and the peace to know You are already holding it. Amen.
A Question to Journal On:
Today, I’ll go first. I’ve found my true love and passion in teaching kids—and right now my foot has a potential real problem. I’m terrified of losing what I just discovered. But today, I’m trusting… trying to unclench and let go.
What about you? What are you holding onto so tightly that God might be asking you to release?
With you in the journey,
Worthy
