When God Shows Only the Next Step
Trust is not always the feeling of peace. Sometimes it is continuing to walk while the whole road is still hidden.

It is hard to trust when you cannot see the whole picture.
Sometimes I think the hardest part of faith is not praying. It is continuing to move forward when God does not show you the whole plan.
When you do not understand the pause. The delay. The “not yet.” When something inside tells you to keep going, but there is still no evidence on the outside.
More and more, I feel that a life led by God is not one in which you know everything. It is one in which you hear only the next step.
Not the whole road.
Not the entire route.
Not the final picture.
Just a quiet voice within:
“Don’t rush.”
“Come this way.”
“Let this go.”
“This is yours.”
And you go.
Sometimes with faith. Sometimes with fear. Sometimes thinking, “God, I do not understand what is happening.”
But you keep going anyway.
Maybe trust is not feeling calm. Maybe it is still choosing God, even when you are afraid.
