Ep. 224 // How Do I Trust God When I Don't Know What's Next? Following God Through Seasons of Uncertainty

What do you do when you’re trusting God, but you still don’t know what’s next?

Maybe you’re waiting for an answer, facing a difficult decision, navigating grief, worried about your finances, waiting on medical results, or simply wondering what the next season of life is going to look like.

Uncertainty can make us crave control and clarity. We want the roadmap. We want to know how everything is going to work out. But Scripture reminds us that our security was never meant to come from knowing the future—it comes from knowing the God who already holds it.

In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we’re talking about what it really looks like to trust God when you don’t know what’s next.

I'm sharing three reminders for navigating seasons of uncertainty:

1. Trust and faith grow in the waiting, not just in the answer.God doesn’t always give us the entire roadmap. Often, He gives us enough light for the next step. We look at the stories of Abraham, Moses, Ruth, and Joseph and how they each had to take faithful steps without knowing exactly where God was leading them.

2. Fear gets loud when the future feels quiet.When we don’t have answers, our minds can quickly fill in the blanks with worst-case scenarios. Lindsay shares a simple question to use when worry begins to spiral: “What do I actually know to be true today?”

3. God’s presence is often greater than His explanation.Sometimes we desperately want God to explain why something is happening, but instead, He reminds us that He is with us. Lindsay shares personally about walking through life after losing her husband, Brandon, and the ways she has seen God's faithfulness through His provision, people, strength, and presence.

You may not know what tomorrow holds. You may not have the answers you're asking God for yet.

But you can know the One who holds tomorrow.

Scripture mentioned:Isaiah 41:10

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.”
