Bonus Week: Seasons of Trust & Embracing Faith Through Every Step

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

— Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust is the bridge between where we are and where God is leading us. It’s the quiet surrender of control, the unwavering belief in His promises, and the deep faith that He is working all things together for our good—even when the path is unclear.

As we enter this Bonus Week: Seasons of Trust, we are invited to reflect on the journey so far. Think back to where you started. The questions, the doubts, the uncertainties. Perhaps the weight of waiting felt unbearable, or the discomfort of growth stretched you more than you imagined. And yet, here you are—wiser, stronger, more resilient.

Trust is not a destination but a practice. It’s the daily decision to believe in God’s timing, to rest in His grace, and to step forward in faith even when we can’t see the whole picture. Trust transforms how we walk through life’s seasons, giving us the courage to embrace the unknown and the peace to release what we can’t control.

Reflecting on What’s Shifted

This journey has not been without its challenges. But within the struggles, seeds of trust have been planted, and they are beginning to bloom. Consider:

• The moments when waiting turned into patience, and you found peace in the stillness.
• The times when growth felt uncomfortable, but you discovered strength you didn’t know you had.
• The harvests—big or small—that reminded you of God’s faithfulness.

These are the markers of transformation, evidence of God’s hand at work in your life. Trust isn’t built in a single moment; it’s cultivated through each step of the journey.

An Invitation to Deepen Trust

This week, we focus on trust as the foundation of our faith. We’ll explore what it means to walk by faith, to surrender control, and to find hope in the midst of uncertainty. Each reflection will guide you toward a deeper connection with God, inviting you to:

• Release the need for answers and rest in His wisdom.
• Find strength in His promises when life feels unsteady.
• Embrace the freedom that comes from surrendering your plans to His perfect timing.

A Moment of Introspection

Take a moment to pause and reflect on your own journey:

1. What fears or doubts have I been holding onto?
2. How has my faith grown through the challenges I’ve faced?
3. Where is God calling me to trust Him more deeply?

Write down your thoughts or speak them in prayer. Let this week be a turning point—a time to let go of what weighs you down and fully lean into God’s guidance.

A New Season Awaits

This is more than just a bonus week; it’s an opportunity to step into a new season of trust. A season where fear gives way to faith, where striving is replaced by surrender, and where God’s promises become the foundation of your courage.

As we begin this journey together, remember: you are not walking alone. God is with you in every step, lighting the way and holding you steady. Trust Him. Lean into His grace. And watch as He transforms your path in ways you never imagined.
