I Trust You, Lord

🛟 Theme: Trust

📖 Scripture:
“But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’” — Psalm 31:14 (GNTD)

📜 Background:
Psalm 31 is a heartfelt cry from David during a time of distress. Surrounded by enemies and overwhelmed by fear, he chooses to declare trust in God. Verse 14 is a turning point—a bold statement of faith in the midst of chaos. It reminds us that trust isn’t passive; it’s a decision to anchor ourselves in God’s character, even when circumstances feel unstable.

💡 Devotional:
One quiet Sunday morning, I sat beside the still waters of Lake Zwerner, watching fog lift slowly from the surface. The world felt hushed, uncertain. I whispered David’s words: “I trust in You, O Lord…”

Trust isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper in the storm, a steady heartbeat in the silence. When life feels fragile, when plans unravel, when fear creeps in—this verse becomes our anchor. “You are my God” is more than a statement; it’s a surrender. It’s choosing to believe that God is still in control, still good, still near.

If you’re facing uncertainty today, let this be your declaration. Say it aloud. Say it often. Say it until your heart believes it: I trust You, Lord.

🪞 Reflection Questions:

What area of your life feels uncertain or fragile right now?
How does declaring “You are my God” shift your perspective?
What helps you choose trust when fear or doubt arise?

🙏 Prayer:
Lord, I trust You.
Even when I don’t understand, I choose to believe You are good.
You are my God—my refuge, my strength, my peace.
Help me surrender my fears and anchor my heart in Your presence.
Amen.

🛠️ Application:
Write down one fear or uncertainty you’re facing.
Beside it, write: “I trust You, Lord.”
Each time anxiety rises this week, speak that truth aloud and ask God to steady your heart.

📌 Takeaway:
Trust is a choice, not a feeling.
Anchored in God’s presence, we declare: You are my God.
