Trusting God when you don’t have all the information can be difficult. Sometimes when we don’t know the whole story, it’s easy to fill in the blanks with fear and assumptions.

Have you ever created a story in your mind before you knew the whole story?

This spring, I found myself doing exactly that.

After months of silence from a wholesale account, I began wondering if they were no longer interested in carrying my products. The longer I waited, the easier it became to assume the worst.

Then something unexpected happened.

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, I share a personal story about assumptions, trust, and the gentle reminder that God is often working behind the scenes in ways we cannot yet see.

If you’ve ever found yourself worrying about a situation, assuming the worst, or creating stories before you know the facts, I hope this episode encourages you to pause, pray, and trust God with the details you cannot see.

  • Learning to trust God when we don’t have all the information

Trusting God When You Don’t Have All the Information

When we don’t have all the facts, it’s easy to create stories fueled by fear. But God often sees a much bigger picture than we do. Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop assuming, keep trusting, and let Him finish writing the story.

Scripture

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
— Proverbs 3:5
