Today’s Faith will require trusting God’s process. Today we travel to Jeremiah 18:4.Let’s talk honestly for a minute. Trusting God’s process can be tough. You pray, you wait, and sometimes it feels like nothing’s happening.
You try to do the right things, but life still throws you curveballs. It’s easy to wonder, “God, what are You doing with all this?” But here’s the thing: He’s working, even when it doesn’t look like it. Like a potter shaping clay, God is forming something good, even when your situation feels messy or uncertain.
Trusting God’s Process: He’s The Potter
When a potter first starts, that lump of clay doesn’t look like much. It’s uneven, rough, and has to be molded again and again. That’s what God does with us. He shapes, presses, and smooths out the parts that don’t belong, not to hurt us, but to make us stronger. Every season of waiting or confusion is a part of His shaping process. You’re not being forgotten. You’re being formed.
Sometimes trusting God’s process means letting go of what you can’t control. It means saying, “Lord, I don’t understand this, but I know You’ve got me.” When you do that, you stop fighting against what’s happening and start finding peace in it. You begin to realize that His timing isn’t late, it’s right on schedule. Every time you thought it was over, God was really setting something new in motion.
Why Trusting God’s Process Matters
When you trust God’s process, you stop living in constant frustration. You start to see your life differently. Think about Joseph, stuck in prison for years, or David waiting in the wilderness before he became king. They probably didn’t see how their story would turn out, but they stayed faithful through the waiting. God used every delay to prepare them for something greater.
It’s the same with you. The job you didn’t get, the relationship that didn’t work, the prayer that hasn’t been answered yet, God’s still working on it. He’s putting the pieces together in a way that only He can. So instead of stressing over what you can’t see, trust that His plan is still moving, even if it’s behind the scenes. Stay in prayer about it.
When you’re trusting God’s process, you trade anxiety for peace. You stop trying to force outcomes and start following His lead. It doesn’t mean you give up; it means you give it over to the One who knows exactly what He’s doing. Take a moment and get that into your prayer journals.
Bible Verse To Consider
Jeremiah 18:4 says, “But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.”
