You don’t have to know where you’re going to trust that you’ll end up exactly where you belong.

 

The Art of Trusting the Unknown.

We live in a world obsessed with plans.

With five year goals. With clear maps. With perfect timing.

We’re taught to know, to figure it out, to be certain.

But what if life doesn’t always offer that clarity?

What if the season you’re in right now feels like fog, thick, disorienting, and painfully silent?

What if every door you once leaned on has closed behind you, and now you’re standing at the edge of everything unknown…

With trembling hands and no idea what’s next?

Does that mean you’re lost?

Or could it mean you’re being led?

There is a quiet kind of courage that no one claps for,

The courage to keep walking when you have no idea where the path leads.

To trust a process you can’t see.

To believe in a destination you don’t yet understand.

Because sometimes, life strips you of direction, not to punish you,

But to teach you that faith isn’t built in certainty.

It’s built in surrender.

It’s in the mornings where your chest aches from unanswered prayers,

but you still get up.

It’s in the nights where the silence feels like betrayal,

but you still whisper, “Maybe there’s a reason.”

It’s in the moments when the only thing you’re holding is hope,

but somehow, that’s enough.

You don’t have to know. You just have to trust.

That the wrong turn was part of the story.

That the delay was divine protection.

That the detour was actually direction.

That the ending was secretly a beginning.

You may not see it now.

The “why” behind the broken plans, the lost opportunities, the closed doors.

But one day, you’ll arrive at something so perfectly aligned,

So tenderly designed just for you,

That every crooked path will suddenly make sense.

And you’ll say:

“Oh. I see now. I was never lost. I was being guided.”

To the one in the in-between:

You don’t need to have it all figured out today.

You don’t need to rush.

You don’t need to compare your journey to theirs.

You’re not behind.

You’re becoming.

Every pause, every pivot, every heartbreak.

They are all threads being woven into something greater.

Let go of the pressure to know.

Instead, lean into the quiet promise that somehow,

you are already on your way home.

Food for the Soul:

• What if your current confusion is the ground where clarity will one day bloom?

• What if not knowing is exactly what your soul needs to surrender control?

• What if being lost isn’t the opposite of being found, it’s just the path there?
