People often say the world has gone completely mad and is on the road to destruction. There is some truth in their words. In such situations, we can be overwhelmed by “existential” fear, and our faith can falter. But God’s Word invites us, precisely in these difficult situations, to seek how to trust in God’s protection and provision.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:2)
How to Trust in God’s Protection and Provision
Trusting in God’s protection means acknowledging He is our ultimate shield and defender. Our faith enables us to face any fear with the confidence that God is in control.
Here are five principles to help you learn how to trust in God’s protection and provision:
1Seek God’s Presence.
Spend time in prayer and meditation, seeking God’s presence and cultivating a deeper relationship with Him. The more we know Him, the more we trust Him. “Fear not, for I am with you.” (Isaiah 41:10)
2Study God’s Word.
Immerse yourself in the Scriptures and discover the promises of God concerning His protection and provision. Meditate on these verses and let them strengthen your faith.
3Recall Past Faithfulness.
Reflect on times when God has protected and provided for you. Remembering His faithfulness will increase your confidence in His ability to do the same in the present and future.
4Listen to the Testimonies of Faith.
Surrounding ourselves with a community of believers who share our faith and encourage us can help us overcome fear. We can pray, support, and uplift one another, reminding each other of God’s faithfulness and power to overcome any obstacle.
5Practice Gratitude.
Cultivate a heart of gratitude for all God has provided in your life. As you focus on His blessings, you will develop a mindset of trust, knowing He will continue to provide for your needs.
Know the Lord
When times get tough, don’t run away from God, but on the contrary, try to get to know Him better and strengthen your relationship.
As we draw closer to Him, we deepen our understanding of His character and promises. We can find strength and reassurance in His words, knowing He has promised to be with us always and never to leave or forsake us.
