�� SCRIPTURE READING

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

��️ MEDITATION

Faith and trust are the foundation of a believer’s walk with God.

Faith is believing in what God has said, even when you cannot see it. Trust is relying on God’s character, even when you do not understand His ways.

This is the mystery: faith believes, but trust rests.

You can have faith for something and still struggle with anxiety if trust is missing.

Trust brings peace to faith. It anchors your heart when circumstances seem uncertain.

God does not just want you to believe Him—He wants you to trust Him completely.

Faith moves you to act.

Trust allows you to rest.

When faith and trust work together, your life becomes stable, confident, and aligned with God’s will.
