Finding Peace Through Trust in God

Life often brings situations we find hard to understand. Sometimes, painful or disappointing moments make us wonder why God didn’t stop them. It’s natural to feel that way, but we must remember that God has a purpose and a plan for each person’s life. Even when events seem difficult or unfair, God allows them for reasons we may not see right now.

He knows everything — past, present, and future — and His love never fails, no matter what we face. The challenge for many people is letting go of control. It can be tempting to try and manage every part of life on our own. But true peace comes when we trust God’s wisdom, love, and perfect timing.

Instead of forcing our own plans, we are called to surrender and allow God to lead. His way brings lasting hope and guidance. God is always right on time, and His care for us never wavers.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Understanding God’s Promise of Protection

God promises to protect his followers, so how come today we see mass shootings and other horrendous actions?

The promise of protection for followers of God does not mean that they will never face suffering or death. In fact, Jesus Himself told his disciples that in this world they will have trouble, but He also promised them peace in Him.

The reality is that we live in a fallen world where sin, evil, and suffering exists because of man’s introduction of sin. Mass shootings and other tragedies are a result of the brokenness of this world. However, as followers of Christ, we can take comfort in the fact that Jesus has overcome the world through His death and resurrection. While we may suffer in this life, God has promised to protect us from spiritual harm and eternal separation from him. Even in the face of tragedy, we can have hope and peace in knowing that ultimately, God is in control and has the power to bring good out of even the most difficult situations.

God’s promise of protection extends beyond physical safety and includes the assurance of His presence, comfort, and eternal life with Him.
