Can You Still Trust God?: What Happens When You Choose to Believe

We may be tempted to question why a truly caring Father would allow sorrow and difficulty to touch His children’s lives.

But God assured His people, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you” (Ps. 50:15). Can we truly rely upon Him to do that? Followers of Jesus Christ need to understand that He is not only able but also willing to fulfill every single promise in Scripture.

Even when we cannot understand why God would allow certain situations to occur, understanding His ways always leads to understanding that He will act in a manner that brings about eternal blessings for His children. It is what you believe that makes it possible to ask the right questions in the face of a tragedy or great needs in your life.

So whether you have picked up this book because of the turmoil in the world, the unwise actions of others, or because of profound personal trials, please be assured that you have come to the right place. You are not alone. Your life matters to God. He cares for you. And yes, you can still trust Him.
