Quotes about Trust

In times of adversity, we can run away from God and let the enemy rule our circumstances or we can run to God and let Him work through our prayers to bring good out of evil.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5—7, NLT

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. Philippians 1:20, NLT

I know my God is good, and I want to show that to the world, whatever.

Our obedience to God will not always achieve the results we want, but our ultimate call is not to be successful, but to be faithful!

When do we most need peace? That becomes the cry of our heart when our life is in turmoil and battles are being waged against us. It is God who gives us a peace that passes all human understanding.

No matter what turmoil or chaos is in your life right now, the God of peace will give you a calm to get through it with poise and grace—and to give you the ultimate victory that results in peace. And not just peace at the end of the storm, but peace along the journey. The Lord is peace. And He offers that peace to you.
