God is in control . . . trust Him!

Whether we are going through a mental health battle, grieving the loss of a loved one, being exposed to an entirely new city, or facing deadlines at work, know that we can be grounded because God is in control.

We like to think we can control everything, but we really can’t. We make our own decisions and choices, yet God is the one who is ultimately in control, guiding our path toward His goodness and glory. Since God is loving, caring, and perfect, we can trust Him with the outcome of every situation, even if we don’t understand it at the time.

Turn to God and trust Him. He will keep us grounded during these trials. Even the simplest of verses that most of us have memorized still works today:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

He will help you stay grounded through this difficult, uncontrollable season. Trust God, yes. Also trust what /who He has provided to assist us:

• Seek advice from friends/associates
• Go outside and enjoy nature
• Breathe deeply now and then
• Therapy....it's ok!

With God, we will get through any situation and come out refined as gold.
