Everyone goes through difficulties. There are, however, six(6) steps to successfully endure — “Trusting God” is the second (not the first1) step.
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed” (Psalm 37:3)
Trust, in this verse, is translated from the Hebrew word meaning “bold”, even “careless”.
Not a command to feel bold but to do good boldly. Feelings may be absent or even negative but choosing to get up and do the right thing is the act of trusting in the Lord.
This means if you have a job get up and go to work faithfully. If you have a family get up and be there for them — that’s trusting God, a choice, an act of faith, the second step to enduring difficulty.
Step #2: Trust in the Lord and do good.
