Trusting God in Every Season: Learning to Be a Healed and Giving Disciple
This past week, I attended a beautiful event on the “healing discipline.” It struck me how rare it is to hear teaching on this. We see many gatherings on prosperity, anointing, or deliverance — but how often do we speak about healing for disciples themselves?
God so deeply cares that we, as His followers, are healed — not just saved — so we can go out and make more disciples of Jesus Christ from a place of wholeness.
Lately, one word has kept surfacing in my conversations, Bible study, and prayer: trust.
Trust when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from.
Trust when the rent is due and your hands feel empty.
Trust when God’s promise feels delayed.
It reminds me of Nahum 1:7:
“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows those who trust in Him.”
Some translations even describe God’s goodness as “beyond belief.” I love that — because from the outside, trusting God can look like “delulu” (delusional). But in His Kingdom, it’s the foundation of true peace. The most important part is that for those (you and I) who trust in Him, His power/ His hand/ His Word - He knows. Does God know you by your level of trust in Him?
And Acts 20:35 reminds us:
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
In our culture, “supporting the weak” often defaults to money. But in Scripture, that support is much broader — it’s time, encouragement, skill, prayer, or simply showing up for someone in need. Jesus lived this. He laboured, He gave, He poured Himself out, not only in miracles but in the everyday moments of service.
Even in my own seasons of lack, I’ve found that giving — in whatever way I can — brings joy that receiving never could. It’s not about denying our needs; it’s about trusting that God has already ordained the process for good, both for our sake and for His glory.
So if you’re in a moment where the future feels uncertain, hold onto this: You can live “true-lulu” — trusting fully — because the Alpha and Omega has already written the ending, and it’s always for your good.
