Faith in the Storm: Learning to Trust God Completely

-


Last night, I praised God for a long time—longer than usual. I found myself lingering in His presence, yearning to draw closer, to surrender more, to trust more. I am beginning to realize that only through God will my life change. My circumstances, my struggles, my fears—none of these can be fixed by my own strength. Yet, even with this knowledge, I battle against the thoughts that flood my mind.

I stress over outstanding fees, over parents who don’t seem to care, over the endless cycle of financial strain. And even though I tell myself that my hope is in Him, I still find my mind running in circles, asking, What plan can I make? How can I fix this? How can I get more money? Over and over, I remind myself—I can't fix it. Only God can.

But why is it so hard to have complete faith and trust? Does God understand the relentless thoughts racing through my mind? The doubts that creep in no matter how many times I rebuke them? The battle of silencing the worries, only for them to resurface again?

I know prayer is the answer, and I am just beginning to cultivate a deeper prayer life. Yet sometimes, I wonder if I am praying “right.” There’s an ache in my heart, a longing to trust without question, to believe without doubt. I wonder—do faith leaders struggle like this? Do they ever feel the weight of conviction as I do, rebuking thoughts, words, and actions that are not of God?

The conviction is real. It’s heavy.

How do you not worry? How do you silence the voices? How do people walk with faith so unshakable that doubt never slips in?

And yet, even as I wrestle with these questions, I know the truth. God will provide. He has my back. He has never forsaken me. So I will press on. I will keep praying, keep praising, keep surrendering—day by day, moment by moment—until my faith becomes the kind that moves mountains.

If you’ve ever felt this struggle, know you’re not alone. But also know this: faith isn’t about never doubting; it’s about trusting even when you do. And that, my friend, is how we learn to walk in faith—step by step, hand in hand with God.

Hello, I’m a mom of four as a self-employed business owner, I’ve learned how to juggle many roles, often feeling stretched thin, but my faith has always been a source of strength and guidance. Life hasn’t always been easy—marriage struggles and personal challenges have tested me, but each experience has deepened my faith and understanding of who I am. This blog is a space where I share my heart, my journey, and the lessons I’m learning along the way. I hope my story can offer encouragement and connection to theirs walking their own paths of faith and growth.

When Christians Judge the Woman Who Survived.

There is a kind of heartbreak that changes you forever. Not the kind that fades after a few weeks. Not the kind people write pretty quotes about and move on from. I mean the kind of heartbreak that lives inside your body. The kind that makes your stomach tighten when someone raises their voice. The kind that teaches you to stay quiet during conflict because your mind still remembers what fear felt like. The kind that steals pieces of who you were until one day you look in the mirror and barely recognize yourself anymore. For years, I fought for my marriage. Not casually. Not halfway. I fought with everything inside me. I was married for six years, but my husband maybe lived with me for less than two of those years because of drug addiction. And before anyone rushes to judge me, let me say this honestly: I was not innocent either. I struggled too. Addiction touched both of our lives. But somewhere along the line, God changed my heart. I chose to stop. I chose my ...

January: When Childcare Providers Pay the Price for December Choices.

-
To childcare providers, educators, minders, and centre owners around the world — this one is for us. January has become one of the hardest months in early childhood education, and not because we don’t love what we do. It’s because every year, many of us start the year unpaid, unsupported, and blamed for simply asking for what is owed. After December — a month of holidays, celebrations, spending, and “jollies” — January arrives with silence. Invoices that were sent in November are suddenly “not received.” Calls are ignored. Messages go unanswered. Payments arrive short — if they arrive at all. And when we follow up? We are told we are attacking parents. We are accused of being unreasonable. We are sworn at. We are lied to. Or worse — completely ignored. Let’s be very clear about something: Childcare is not a charity. It is not optional. And it is not something you can delay paying for without consequences. When fees go unpaid in January, it doesn’t just affect a business on paper. It me...

The Gift That Made Me Homesick.

Lately, this world feels foreign. Not dark. Not unbearable. Just temporary. The noise feels louder. The striving feels emptier. The rush for things that fade feels thinner than it once did. And deep inside, there is a quiet pull — not downward, but upward. A homesickness. Scripture says we are strangers and pilgrims on the earth (see Hebrews 11:13). I used to read that as poetic language. Now I feel it in my bones. I belong to Another. And His name is Jesus. 🌿 The Gift That Reveals the Father The gift of Jesus is not only about salvation. It is about revelation. When the Father gave His Son, He was not just solving a sin problem — He was unveiling His heart. In John 3:16, we read that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. He gave. Not because we were good. Not because we were stable. Not because we had proven ourselves worthy. But because love is who He is. Jesus shows us that God is not distant. He is not cold. He is not measuring us with a disappointed sigh. He steps int...
