We hear it all the time: "Trust the process."
And there’s wisdom in that. Growth takes time. Seeds don’t become trees overnight. The work you do today often won’t show results until much later.
But as believers, we're called to trust something greater than the process. Because sometimes the process doesn't go according to plan. Doors close. Prayers seem unanswered. The timeline stretches longer than we expected.
When that happens, our confidence can't be in the process itself, it has to be in God. Trust the work. Stay disciplined. Keep showing up. But remember that your hope is not in the plan, the strategy, or the outcome. Your hope is in Jesus.
This week, trust the process, but trust God even more.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
