    I Will Trust!

    by TerryLema February 7, 2026

    There is a song titled, “I Will Trust in You,” written by Lauren Daigle, Paul Marbury, Michael Farren. The song talks about how we stay strong when God doesn’t move the mountains or part the sea or give us the kind of answers we expect or want.

    How do we handle trudging over that mountain? How do we continue when we have to walk through the floods? What kind of heart attitude must we bear when the answers to our prayers don’t rescue us from situations, illnesses, or circumstances of life?

    The song says that it is then we must trust. “I will trust, I will trust in You.”

    That’s not a new thought. David during trouble said, “I trust in you, O LORD; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands.” [Psalm 31:14-15 NIV]

    Jesus told us, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” [John 14:1 NIV]

    We commit our spiritual well-being to God. No matter what we see with our natural eye. No matter what we must go through, endure, or overcome in this life, our belief in God and in His Christ holds us steady.

    The mountains may loom, but God will give us hinds-feet for high places. The sea may seem to overwhelm, but Jesus can quiet our soul just as He quieted the sea of Galilee. And the answers to our prayers may be different than expected, but He will never leave us, nor forsake us.

    I WILL trust, I CAN trust, in Him.
