TRUSTING GOD WITHOUT a TRACE: A Place of Full SurrenderSample

BLIND FAITH

When we release the need to understand every twist and turn in our lives, we begin to trust without a trace of doubt or reservation. This kind of trust requires us to let go of our perceived control and place ourselves entirely in God's hands, knowing that His ways are higher than ours and His plans are perfect even when we cannot see them.

As a mother of adult children, I know firsthand how difficult this can be. When my children were school-aged, I worried constantly about their well-being. I wrestled with the question of whether I was doing everything I could to help them become independent and, more importantly, God-dependent. I wanted to protect them, guide them, and equip them for the future, but I often found myself overwhelmed by the weight of those responsibilities. It wasn’t until I learned to surrender those worries to God and trust Him with their lives that I found true peace.

I came to realize that God loved my children even more deeply than I did and that His plans for them were far beyond what I could understand.

Consider Isaiah 55:8-9, where God declares, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways... As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Trusting without a trace means embracing the mystery of God’s plans with confidence that His perspective far surpasses our own. We may not always understand why things happen, but we can trust that He sees the end from the beginning.
