How do I trust God when life is dark?
Quick answer
Trust in dark seasons is built by remembering what God has done, returning to his promises, leaning into his people, and taking small obediences even without feeling. Faith in the dark is faith at its truest.
Habakkuk learned this: "Though the fig tree should not blossom… yet I will rejoice in the Lord." Trust in absence of evidence.
Anchor in objective truth: God has not changed; the cross still stands; you are still loved.
Show up. Take the next small step. Read a psalm. Call a friend. Keep your appointments. Faith often moves first; feeling follows later.
