5-Minute Bible Studies: Trusting God

The Bible calls us again and again to trust God with the whole weight of our lives. But when the future feels uncertain, prayers feel unanswered or life feels hard to hold together, trusting the One we cannot see can feel far from simple.

These 5-minute Bible studies and reflections from Our Daily Bread are here to help you pause, open Scripture and consider what trusting God really looks like in everyday life. Through His promises, His heart for you and stories of His faithfulness, you’ll be reminded that God is not distant, careless or unreliable. He is trustworthy in all He does.

This resource includes:

• short studies designed to take around five minutes
• Bible passages on suffering, fear, illness, sorrow and loneliness
• questions for personal reflection
• accompanying Our Daily Bread readings
• prayers shaped by each passage
• ten additional verses about trusting God

Use it a section at a time, return to the passages that speak most directly into your circumstances, or keep it for seasons when concentrating on longer Bible studies is more difficult.
