How to Trust God with a Year You Can’t Control

How to Trust God with a Year You Can’t Control

Author: Jessica Hottle | Christian Life Coach, Spiritual Growth Mentor, Christian Mental Health Coach, Christian Counseling January 14, 2026 Duration: 14:39

Trust feels spiritual, but so often it’s physical. When life starts to feel unpredictable, our bodies are usually the first to react through tight shoulders, racing thoughts, or a constant urge to stay one step ahead of what might happen. Struggling to trust God in an uncertain season doesn’t mean your faith is weak; it often means your body remembers what it felt like when things fell apart before. I often hear my coaching clients say, “I know God is good, but I don’t feel safe.” And that gap - the one between what you believe and what your body feels - is where trust often gets complicated.

If you want to trust God even though everything in you wants control, this episode is for you.

Rooting for you,
Jessica
