Trusting God is a revolt against worry and anxiety.
In this episode, dear friend and author of The Settled Soul, Jodi Detrick, shares her experience of living with only half-sight after a series of eye complications. She has not only adjusted to life with a new perception visually, but her perception spiritually has attuned to a clearer understanding of what it looks like to truly trust God in the dark.
When we only see and know in part, the most important part of trust takes over. The choice and treasure to have faith in God even when we can’t see or understand what we’re going through. Jodi reminds us to lift the burdens to God and release the worry and fear over things we can’t control. Trusting God to help us walk this life with a lighter load. Trust is not a feeling it is a choice. As we choose to trust God in the dark, the light will always find its way in.
