“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.“
– Corrie ten Boom
“If you can’t trust God with everything, you can’t trust Him with anything.“
Truly embracing God’s guidance is the key to a spiritually enriched life. It’s about leaning wholeheartedly into His wisdom, goodness, and abundant blessings. Complete trust means letting go of the reins, knowing that His plans are crafted for our ultimate well-being, even if they seem beyond our comprehension. Any hesitation only weakens the bond of trust. It’s about unwavering faith in His guidance and provision, especially when life’s twists and turns leave us bewildered. Entrusting every facet of our existence to God reflects a deep-seated belief in His unwavering care for us, no matter what challenges we face. And in this trust, we find not just solace, but the freedom to live authentically, knowing we’re supported by a higher power that transcends our understanding.
Truly embracing God’s guidance is akin to setting sail on an unknown sea, trusting in the unseen wind to carry us towards our destined shores. It’s about immersing ourselves fully in His boundless wisdom, recognizing the depth of His goodness, and embracing the richness of His blessings showered upon us. Complete trust in God demands that we relinquish the illusion of control, acknowledging that His plans, though often veiled in mystery, are intricately woven for our ultimate fulfillment.
Every pause in our trust in God’s care loosens the weave of our faith, much like a thread unraveling at its edges. Yet, it’s precisely in the midst of life’s bewildering twists and turns that our resolve is tested most profoundly. It’s during these times of uncertainty that unwavering faith in God’s guidance becomes our steadfast anchor, steadying us amidst the stormy seas of doubt.
To surrender every aspect of our lives to God is to place our hands in His, trusting in His unfailing love and provision for us. It’s like stepping onto a tightrope with eyes closed, knowing that He will guide each step with unwavering precision. And within this trust, we discover not just solace, but a profound sense of liberation—the freedom to live authentically, empowered by the knowledge that we are upheld by a divine force whose wisdom transcends our understanding.
Philippians 4:6-7 – New International Version – (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This verse advises believers not to succumb to anxiety or worry about anything. Instead, it encourages them to pray to God in all situations, presenting their needs and concerns with a spirit of thanksgiving. By doing so, believers can experience a profound peace from God that surpasses human understanding, guarding their hearts and minds against fear and doubt, especially when they remain rooted in their faith in Christ Jesus. In essence, it highlights the power of prayer, gratitude, and trust in God’s provision to bring about a sense of peace amidst life’s challenges.
Psalm 37:5 – English Standard Version – (ESV)

“Faith means living with uncertainty – feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.”

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ. My name is William Torres (My family and friends call me Willie).
I am a New Christian or as I like to say, “A Toddler Christian,’ being saved as of 2017.
From a very young age, my family always told me that I had a calling. I got involved with the church in my early teen years and served as a Altar Boy at my church, was a Youth Group Leader, and even a member of a Trio music group (Church Group), which we would perform in Church Youth Rallies.
Their was definitely a calling. What I was missing throughout all this was a relationship with Jesus Christ. I was serving and loving the church and those around me, but not serving and loving the Lord.
It wasn’t until depression, isolation and suicidal thoughts that the Lord, finally said, “Okay, Willie, are you done? Let me In, Take a hold of my Hand,” and that was 2017, and I have been walking, skipping, singing and dancing with the Lord ever since.
Since 2017, the Lord has led me to sharing testimonies, putting myself out on YouTube (being shy, this was very hard for me to do) Click here to visit my YouTube page, Willie Torres Jr.
I started to write stories which I believe were led by the Holy Spirit; many of which are testimonies and different trials I have endured and how the Lord has gotten me through them and to overcome them.
I enjoy encouraging others in the Lord Jesus Christ through my writings, and I can only pray that those who read them, will be Blessed by Gods Words.
I am nowhere near perfect but I Worship a God who is.
I have a long way to go and so much yet to learn, but one thing is for certain, I Am Not Alone, and as hard as this was to accept and Believe, I thank God for creating in me a clean heart.
The Lord has also led me to start a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, CLICK HERE to visit my Facebook Page, Being Crazy For Christ.
I thank Truth Hunters and Lyn Leahz for the opportunity to allow me to share my writings with you all and as we say in Our Facebook Ministry, I Hope to Grow In Christ Together With You.
You Are Loved
Willie Torres Jr.
