Bible verses about trusting God in difficult situations

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-5-26

by

Genesis 45:8 (NKJV) 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

These words are very powerful.

Joseph was speaking to his brothers, explaining that despite the things they had done, they didn’t put him where he was.

It was God who wanted him there for this moment in time.

Joseph had a very hard and challenging life before his current position as ruler of Egypt, next to Pharaoh.

Oh, how painful it must have been to accept the fact his own brothers sold him into slavery. And if that wasn’t bad enough, he spent years in prison for being falsely accused.

And all the while, Joseph stayed the course and trusted God. And wherever he ended up, God gave Joseph favor.

Genesis 39:21 (NKJV) 21 But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

What his brothers did to him was wrong.

What Potiphar’s wife did to him was wrong.

But God took what was meant for evil and brought good out of it all.

All of what Joseph went through brought him to a place where God could use him to save many lives during a severe famine in the land.

Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

Joseph’s life is an example of how God can and will take certain things that happen to us throughout our lives that were meant for evil and, if we stick with Him and don’t give up, He will use them for good.

Are you going through trials today?

Are you in a place where you’ve been falsely accused, or you’ve done nothing wrong to deserve what you are dealing with right now?

Difficult seasons help us to lean on God more than ever and experience His faithfulness through it all.

Stand tall in your faith. Walk out each day accordingly, and see what God will do!

Nahum 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-26

by

Psalm 42:5 (LSB) 5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him, For the salvation of His presence.

Sometimes our own soul can be our worst enemy.

As humans, it can be easy for us to feel pity for ourselves when we face difficulties.

We mourn for ourselves and long for someone to show us pity, that we might feel justified in our own self-pity indulgence.

But just as we lull ourselves into ever-deeper sadness, we must also be the one to shake ourselves out of that state, and pick ourselves up by the bootstraps, so to speak, get ourselves moving away from the darkness that is trying to overtake us, and toward God’s solace and saving grace.

Though it may be satisfying at times to pity ourselves, it does nothing to help us. And there is, in fact, no good in it.

Our hope and security come from God alone. It is Him alone who can lift us out of the darkness and soothe us when we are down.

And it is Him alone who can fix our brokenness in times of terrible sorrow or despair.

Let Him lift our countenance and break the hold of despair as only He can do. 🙏🏻

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-25

by

Hebrews 11:29 (NKJV) 29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

The waters were on the right and left side of them, and they walked on dry land.

How? By faith.

I don’t know about you, but it is hard for my head to imagine being where they were. Maybe a little scared, feeling stuck, and definitely unsure.

But there was faith.

They made it to the other side on dry land.

And when they looked back to see if their enemy was coming, they saw them get swallowed up by the same water that they just passed through.

Things happen when we have faith.

When we rely on God to help us and He gives us instructions or opens doors for us to walk through, we just need to obey!

Don’t hesitate! Put one foot in front of the other and walk.

He will get us to the other side, safe and sound.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-24-25

by

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

I don’t see the wind, but I hear it and feel it at times. It moves the branches and blows my hair. Thus I know it’s real.

With God, I don’t see Him standing in front of me. But I see Him in everything around me. I feel His touch at times and I know it was Him.

When we know, we know!

I have been living this life as a believer for some time now. And just the other day as I laid in my bed, slowly waking up from a good night’s sleep, a few things came to my mind.

One of them was how powerful God is!

I pondered things that have come to me by way of God opening doors. And because of that, here I am today, in North Carolina.

I realized that most of the steps I have taken were ordained by God, and they brought me to this place.

I often find myself saying, “where am I?” This was especially true after we left all we knew, and moved to a new land.

And “what am I doing here in this place?”

I don’t always understand. But I do acknowledge Him and His ways before my own.

I understand now that He knew all along. He planned my journey for me. I just needed to trust Him even when I didn’t know how to do some of it.

There have been a few things that, even today, I still cannot believe how I or we, my husband and I, did it.

I know now it was not ever us. But in the past I thought  differently. I didn’t see the big picture. I simply thought we were making decisions that were good and life was just happening.

But life doesn’t just happen if you truly trust God with the reins!

God has guided me in ways that I can’t even explain. He has prompted me at times without me even knowing.

And I’ve made decisions based on the promptings I was feeling at that moment and hour, not giving it any thought that it was God; His Spirit leading me.

God is truly powerful. His understanding is so far beyond what we can contain in our minds.

Don’t worry today if you are in a place you’re not familiar with. Don’t go back to what you knew. He will unfold the new thing before you as you stay true.

Trust His promptings and guidance. If you are following Him, you are RIGHT where you need to be.

2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV) 31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-18-25

by

Psalm 3:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. 2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah

Many may look at the lives of those who are wealthy, or those who are in power, and may long for their life to be like theirs.

We often believe that wealth, power, or popularity lead to fairytale lives with no problems.

But this is a falsehood; a figment of our human imaginations.

King David had it all; power, wealth, popularity, and God’s favor. But he still faced very difficult situations that caused him great fear and anguish.

In the verses above he was crying out to God as he was being betrayed by one of his own sons, Absalom, who was trying to claim David’s throne as king.

Yes. His own son was endangering his life and his position as the rightful, anointed leader of Gods people.

He had fled the palace and was in hiding, trying desperately to save his own life and the lives of those around him.

Was he afraid? Of course!

But did he abandon his faith in God? Absolutely not!

Despite his fears and the desperation of his situation, he called out to God, because that’s where his trust was!

What are we facing today? What is making us fearful? What obstacle seems insurmountable?

Whatever it is, trust God with it. Call out to Him. And if He asks you to do something, to take steps as part of the solution to your dilemma, be sure to obey Him.

Life can be scary sometimes. And with man this may seem impossible, but with God all things are possible.
