When It’s Hard To Trust God’s Plan, Pray This

Trusting in God’s unseen work brings peace during uncertain times, a focus of Karin Hadadan’s prayer. To add to this, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day shows how noticing God in daily moments strengthens our faith.

When we can’t see any good in what we’re going through, we can still trust the One who is working all things for our good. God’s love doesn’t change just because the season feels difficult, and His plan for you is still full of hope. Whenever you’re ready, let’s lean into His promise together with this prayer.

Dear God,

Thank you for your sovereign work in all circumstances of my life. I trust that every moment, whether joyful or painful, is ultimately aligned with your higher purpose and plan. However, in all honesty, I often struggle to see the good in challenging situations. My mind tends toward worry, anxiety, and stress, unable to recognize the silver lining in moments of pain.

Please help me trust you and the unseen work you’re doing behind the scenes. Reveal your purpose in both my joys and sorrows, so that my love for you can grow through every season of my life. Thank you for the promise that you work all things together for good for those who love you and are called according to your purpose.

Amen.
