Trusting God in Difficult Times Bible Verses

If you’re struggling with trusting God during difficult times, this post was designed with you in mind. Life is filled with so many tests, trials, and tribulations – maybe it’s a health crisis, lack of finances, or just simply trying to make the right decision. Yet, with God’s wonderful promises in scripture, we can be assured our burdens are not ours to carry as promised in our comprehensive list of 30 Trusting God in Difficult Times Bible Verses.

What does the Bible say about Trusting God during Hard Times?
The Holy Bible is clear – we must trust in the Lord with everything, especially during hard times. God does not promise an easy life as Christians. At some point in your earthly existence, you will go through situations that cause pain and/or suffering, whether it’s physical, mental, or spiritual.
Yet, there’s great news for you as the Bible tells us – no worries! God’s grace through Jesus is sufficient for you. That’s it, plain and simple. In your weakness, His strength is made perfect. What a wonderful message! Please my friend, rejoice in this, knowing that His power rests upon you (2 Corinthians 12:9).
When I wanted to become a stay-at-home mom, our budget was tight. While I was tempted to believe the world’s culture that ‘you can’t live on one income to pay for expenses’, instead, I trusted in the Lord. When the world told me ‘you must have health insurance’, I decided instead, to have faith in God’s Word and cancel my policy that supported unbiblical procedures. I committed to trusting in God and transitioned to a Christian ministry that offered medical sharing with other Christians called Medi-Share.

How Do you Trust God in a Difficult Situation?
Are you in a stressful situation and not sure what to do? First, the best action is to pray. Ask for wisdom and trust that He will make the right decision. I suggest recording your prayers in a journal to see how He answers them!
The possibilities could be a door opening or opportunity, a wise friend giving advice, or God granting you patience in waiting. That’s it! The hard part is trusting in the Lord’s timing. While He may reveal His answer right away, many times, He uses this special time to build the fruit of the spirit: patience.
There’s nothing God can’t take care of – just make sure you are applying Biblical principles. In His word, He tells us to trust in Him and you will have perfect peace. Just keep your mind focused on Him (Isaiah 26:3-4, John 14:1).
When my difficult situation was regarding finances, knowing that I was transforming my mind from worldly to God’s Word gave me peace that a health-sharing ministry called Medi-Share was the right choice for a Christian family.

What Happens When We Trust God while Suffering?
From my own experience and testimony, the power of trusting God works! We must say ‘no’ to doubt and fear and ‘yes’ to trusting in God! If we do have faith in Him, we can expect many blessings through the trials we face. I’m not necessarily talking about material possessions, but spiritual blessings. Always choose the Biblical way as He blesses us with confidence, clarity, and peace.
When we bought our health sharing option with Medi-Share, it was over 12 years ago. Since the inception of our enrollment, our family has had great health and very few issues when the kids were young and even early in high school. The only exception was when my daughter was 12 years old when diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Medi-Share shared the visit after a provider fee, shared the entire cost of lab results, and even prayed with me when I called with questions. How wonderful is that — to be covered with prayers during a crisis in your life!
Trusting God by Following His Commandments
Trusting God with our Healthcare
My Trusting God story started way back in 2005. When my kids were little, as I mentioned earlier, I quit my lucrative job in Health IT to become a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids under 2 years old. We were advised by everyone close to us not to do it as I was the breadwinner. Our finances would supposedly be too tight with only one income, especially since my husband was ramping up a new construction business.
However, we know the Bible said that God will provide when we follow our God-given roles as men and women, husbands and wives, and fathers and mothers. It was simple — we were obeying the Lord.
Trusting God with our Finances
As we progressed on one income, our small budget needed some reductions in monthly costs due to the real estate market volatility my husband had entered. With the rising costs of health insurance, groceries, and education as a new homeschool family, we decided to believe in the Bible instead of looking to others for guidance or the government for help.
Instead, it was time to take a leap of faith and reduce our costs using Biblical principles.
One of the best biblical decisions we made was canceling our health insurance policy. Our past healthcare company supported unbiblical medical procedures that were against our beliefs so instead, we decided to contribute monthly to a health-sharing program called Medi-Share. Since our family was young and healthy, we chose a higher annual household portion (AHP) with a lower monthly cost.

Trusting God with Our Health
For many years, Medi-Share was always there for us. We didn’t need to go to the doctor much during the younger years, but when we did, Medi-Share would help pay for doctor visits and labs.
However, just a couple of years ago, I faced a huge health challenge when the kids were in high school. It was very unexpected and shocking. One morning in September, I discovered a lump in my left breast. I didn’t panic but kept it in the back of my mind as I was feeling pretty well with no symptoms or soreness.
However, after two months I noticed it seemed to be growing. I decided it was time to seek a specialist. I had a quick succession of appointments with my physician assistant, an ultrasound and finally, a mammogram.
It was official, I had breast cancer. How would I cope?
My husband and I decided to trust in the Lord to care for EVERYTHING, and HE DID! After two surgeries and almost two years have gone by, ALL OF MY BILLS HAVE BEEN PAID and I feel better than ever! I changed my diet, and switched from a work-focused routine into a spiritually-focused schedule. This allowed me to transform my mind into Biblical Thinking that changed my relationships into deeper connections with my husband, kids, family, and friends.
I can confidently say my God supplied all my needs! God came through for me and my family and Medi-Share was a vehicle God used to take care of my bills. There is no special secret — the only way is to Trust in the Lord During Difficult Times!
He is right there with you. He loves you with an everlasting love. Do you believe it? If not, it’s time to saturate yourself with Prayer, Reading the Word of God, and Biblical Thinking.
There are countless stories just like mine. It’s all about trusting in God during difficult times. Are you trusting in the Lord during your stressful situation?

When we choose to stop relying on our understanding and instead, lean on God, something wonderful happens. Our burdens are lifted. Peace fills our hearts. God works in us. While we don’t always know why bad things happen to us, that’s not for us to know. God’s promises say that He will direct our paths as written in Proverbs 3:5-6.
Remember, my friend, you are not alone in your struggles. Cast all your cares upon him, for He cares for you. God promises to be with you through the toughest of times, the most painful procedures, and the most devastating relationships. His presence is a constant source of comfort and support.
What does the Bible Say about Keeping Faith in Hard times?
When we as humans remove our worries, doubts, and fears and have faith in God, something miraculous happens. The fruits of the spirit are activated. Joy, peace, and love are abounding.

Trusting God in All Circumstances
As we get into the scriptures my friend, let’s wrap up with positive thoughts knowing that you must trust in God during every single circumstance that comes your way.
For your physical needs, start eating healthy meals that include God’s foods, such as an abundance of organic fruits and vegetables. To strengthen your mental capacity, stop watching and listening to bad shows (including the news) or music that corrupt the mind and instead, saturate yourself with the word of God.
Begin the habit of consistently reading the Bible, listening to sermons, as well as playing Godly music. Your strong mental health will transform your spirit into drawing closer to the Lord. He’ll give you the confidence to make wise decisions daily that will lead you and your family to a brighter future.
