There are few things more humbling than realizing you can’t fix someone you love. We can organize, advise, pray, suggest, remind, encourage, and sometimes even plead.

In those moments, trusting God means we don’t rely solely on the expected answer. We should also trust His timing. His […]
Control often feels like wisdom, until it becomes exhausting. We tell ourselves we’re being responsible, proactive, prepared. But beneath the surface, control often reveals a deeper struggle with trust, especially trust in God’s timing.
