Trusting God: Day 3

Today’s Verse: Proverbs 3:5-10

Life often presents unforeseen circumstances that can throw us off course. It’s important that in the trials and seasons of difficulties that we hold to the course that God has put us on. Learning to trust God’s process will renew and strengthen you to face the journey ahead.

Hear from Sophia Richards about how she’s learning to trust God’s process in her season of difficulty:

Man, I have so many testimonies to choose from but what I’ll share is something that’s ongoing. It is my actual reality. So back in 2012 after completing CAPE, I had started University of the West Indies (UWI) to pursue a degree in Information Technology (IT). To cut story short, everything for me before and after starting that year was going haywire. By the end of September of that same year, I had sent in my deferral letter because honestly, I was going mentally and emotional crazy. Like walking on campus almost everyday bawling my eyes out because things were just not working out and I was honestly struggling. Now prior to sending that in, I found out that 1) I got through because of a glitch in the system that they never knew about until I started lol! And mind you, I had started UWI two weeks late and missed labs that my lecturer refused to go over with me, 2) Got sick with dengue and had no health insurance plus my tuition hadn’t been paid yet and 3) Lived with an aunt that TRUST ME… but that’s another story for another day. But I didn’t give up! 

After returning home, I threw myself into getting CXC Math which I had failed horribly in 5th form (I hated Math) and surprise surprise, passed it!  By August 2013, I applied for Northern Caribbean University (NCU) and got in. On day 1 of my orientation, I ended up switching my major, my degree and even my courses. By the time, classes began and I felt like I could actually breathe, I got locked out of my student portal so I couldn’t submit or do any class activities. I was so embarrassed so once again, I deferred. I’m trying my best to speed this up and yes there are tad bits of info missing but that’s for another time. The year 2014 (scratch that, December 31st, 2013) I became really desperate and needed God to move. So I testified on Watch night service that I was going to start UWI in 2014 and that He was going to provide. And I believed and trust that he would do it. Fast forward to the Year 2020, here I am a final year student at UWI and God has been faithful. I honestly didn’t see myself here and I will admit that I still haven’t gotten the hang of trusting Him completely but I see where having a little goes a long way.

Respond:

Take some time to meditate on today’s verses and come to terms with where your trust must be. Do that and watch God go above and beyond your expectations. Know that you are not alone. This year I am truly learning to embrace one statement: “I trust in Your process.” I am continually reciting this phrase in my mind when I don’t understand the situation I am facing. I continually remind myself in the unknown that God has a plan, He is in control, and He has my best interests at heart. So, all I have is trust.
