“The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.” Psalms 34:22
What does it mean to trust God? It means to place your entire well-being into His hands. It also means you trust in His love for you, and the promises He’s made to you. One way He teaches us how to trust in Him is by using older saints to share their stories of how they made it through various challenges.
I once met an older woman who said all throughout her Bible she had written “tried and proven.” These words were written next to the scriptures she had stood on in faith and God had proven Himself to be faithful in her life. I believe if we had more women like her sharing their faith, their experiences and teaching younger women to trust in God, we wouldn’t see so many lost and confused women in the church today.
Because there is no passing down of wisdom and no impartations of faith from older saints, women give up on life at the slightest attack from the devil. The smallest amount of persecution or pressure causes many of us to want to quit. I believe it’s because we don’t know how to go through anything. We don’t know how to handle challenges with class. We don’t know how to trust God until He brings us out. We don’t know how to stand on His promises and watch Him come through for us. We don’t know how to walk by faith and not by sight. No one taught us how to hang in there until we see the morning sun, so we die in the middle of the night. We throw in the towel and lose our minds and no longer desire to fight. We desperately need someone to come to our side, rest their hand on our shoulders and say, “Baby, everything is going to be alright. Trust in the Lord. He is faithful, and He will see you through anything.”
My sister, you don’t have to lose your mind. You don’t have to have a nervous breakdown. You don’t have to lose yourself. You can decide right now that you will trust God until He makes a way out of no way for you. Everything is going to be alright. Trust in the Lord. He is faithful, and He will see you through anything.
Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking to my heart! I choose right now to place my trust in you. Help me stand on your promises until you make a way out of no way for me. Help me Lord to trust in your love for me no matter how things appear. As I place my trust in you, I ask that you strengthen me and be glorified in my life! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
My God! After reading just a few sentences I can just take off running!!!

This was so spot on! God has been so faithful to me! This year I could write those words on so many pages. Between 1/31/20 and 4/1/20,, I had the following
My husband went on dialysis and had numerous procedures after his kidnex tqansplant of 25 years wore out. We had been trying to financially prepare for a year but I managed to get our house refinanced and final right before the lock down. We had five more years to pay it off but for the last two years, we have been in court fight for our 9 year old grandson we’ve raised since birth and legal costs now around $15k taxed us. Then there was the moving my work home to telecommute, virtually educating a 4th grader and taking on more home and parenting responsibilities. BUT I CAN SAY finances, health, my sanity and all this in the middle of a pandemic and GOD IS SO GOOD TO US!! Unexpected blessings at almost every turn and our high risk family is COVID free and I am going to share this with younger women because they need to hear it!
Thank you. I will be still and know that God is God.
Yes lord I stand on your word and all your promises. For me are yes and Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏.
What an awesome 👏 God we serve. The devil 👿 is busy but hold unto your faith this too shall pass. God got us if only we believe and trust him. When praises go up the blessings come down 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes Lord. I trust You to bring me through every situation by faith. Help me to stay strong as I stand, run and hold on to You through it all. Strengthen me to finish every race and all challenges Give me a breakthrough.
I am willing to be a solution and speak in the midst of those whom will be encouraged by my testimony. I don’t want what I have experienced be in vain. Let Your Glory prevail in Jesus’ name.

My goodness, sometimes its like you were sent by God to speak specifically to me. I’ve been unwell for so long, sometimes I feel like there’s no way out of this illness but every time I open my devotional there you are with just the scripture that I need for encouragement. God bless you my sister and all daughters of the King.
