“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God”
— Corrie Ten Boom
Simplified Meaning:
When we face times of uncertainty and we don't know what will happen in the future, it can be really scary. But if you believe in a higher power or a God that you trust, you can find comfort in that faith. Imagine you are walking along a dark path and can’t see what’s ahead. If you have a trustworthy friend who has walked that path before and knows it well, you would feel safer holding their hand and following them. Similarly, if you trust in a God who is wise and loving, you don't have to be so afraid of what the future holds, even when it is unknown. Throughout history, many people have found strength by putting their faith in something greater than themselves during tough times. Applying this to your own life means placing your worries and fears about the future in the hands of your trusted beliefs or faith, knowing that this can provide a sense of peace and reduce your anxiety.
