Trust In The Lord: Five Bible Verses To Reaffirm Trust

And putting your faith in someone who is seemingly “not coming through for you” can be quite disheartening. Nevertheless, we should hold fast to God and His Word. Because at the end of it all, He has plans only to prosper us and give us a remarkable future (paraphrased, Jeremiah 29:11). Consequently, even when it feels like He is not there, He is.
