Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn't God promise to give us our heart's desires in Psalm 37?+
Yes, God promises to give us the desires of our hearts, but this doesn't necessarily mean our earthly plans will unfold as expected. Instead, He uses circumstances to refine us and bring glory to Himself (Psalm 37:4, Romans 8:28).
How can I trust God when life takes a dramatic turn from my plans?+
You can trust God in uncertainty, even when life doesn't go as planned. Remember that He is a good Father who works all things together for our good. Trust in His sovereign goodness, and He will guide you through the unknown (Romans 8:28, Matthew 6:26).
What does it mean to 'cast all my anxieties on Him' in 1 Peter 5:7?+
To cast your anxieties on God means to surrender your worries to Him, trusting that He cares for you and will handle your concerns. In exchange for your trust, God promises peace that surpasses understanding (1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 55:22).
