Dare to Trust Again is a quote I read in Lysa TerKeurst’s book, “I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t,” and I’m pondering it with you today.
For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for just five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.
Day 5 of Lent 2025- March 9
I read this quote in Lysa TerKeurst’s book, “I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t.” It is just one of many quotes I highlighted, and you can see more helpful quotes from the book HERE.
Today’s quote is pulled from one of the last chapters in the book. It’s not given at the front of the book, because Lysa does a great job of affirming pain and doubt in the first three-quarters of the book. Then she gently guides you on how and why you need to rebuild trust.
Here’s a longer quote from this chapter on healing:
“Instead of focusing on all that was taken from me, maybe I could shift my focus to what this new season could give me.”
I’m pondering this truth carefully for this reason. In the past three years, every single time I’ve gone to a counseling session, I have faced high-level spiritual warfare. However, this week was the first time I didn’t face any huge fights with the enemy before, during, or after my appointment. This is a wonder to me.
I’m carefully wondering if God is inviting me to trust him again in a new season that won’t be fraught with constant trauma and spiritual warfare. I wonder if the lack of spiritual warfare is a sign that it’s a new season. I have other signs that God might even be restoring twice as much to me, as seen in this meme:
My trust in God must be rebuilt before my trust in people can be restored. I’m rebuilding my trust by taking baby steps forward in choosing hope that things will be better.
Do you need to dare to trust again, like I do? I highly recommend Lysa’s book as a companion to your regular rhythms of Bible reading, prayer, corporate worship, singing or listening to praise songs, and meditating on God’s Word. I hope this quote and post inspires new hope for you today.
Join me again tomorrow for another reflection on a different quote.
