In the fifth sermon of the series, we explore the challenge of trusting God when His plan isn’t clear or aligns differently from our own expectations. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6 and Isaiah 55:8-9, we emphasize that God’s ways and timing are higher than ours, and trusting Him requires faith beyond understanding.

By embracing God’s plan, we find peace, guidance, and unexpected blessings, even in the midst of uncertainty.
