10 Empowering Bible Verses About Trusting God’s Plan
Our first child was born on a Tuesday. I could barely believe she was hidden within me for all those months. After the hyperemesis diagnosis and the months of lying on the bathroom floor in a cloud of nausea, I couldn’t comprehend the love I felt for her.
I never knew love like that was possible.
In the months following her birth, I spent hours marveling at her little face.
I spent hours cherishing moments, thanking God, and clinging to her for dear life.
At times, I wrestled with fears about SIDs and what might happen if the love I’d found was somehow stripped away. I wrestled with these things as I held her through long nights, and I stared down my fears.
Trusting God in the Face of Fear
As the months wore into years, I gradually learned to loosen my grip and trust that the same God who holds my life in his hands also holds the lives of my children. I can trust him with my children because his plans will not be thwarted.
Our days were all written before one of them came to be. While we’re called to live without negligence, we are also called to live without fear of bad news.
The ten truths listed below are anchors for my soul when I begin to worry about the lives of those I love. No matter what kind of fear you face, let these truths serve as anchors for your soul, too. You can rest in the faithfulness of the One who holds the future.

Even if your worst-case scenario becomes reality, God will be with you. He will sustain you, help you, and carry you. You can trust the One who promises to stay with you.
3. God will not fail you as you do the work he has given to you.
David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 NKJV
