When our hearts are troubled, we don’t fix ourselves first and then come to God. We come as we are. Troubled. Afraid. Angry. Grieving. Hopeful…even if just barely. And we hear again: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.” That word “believe” isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about trust. It’s about leaning into the promise that we’re not alone, not abandoned, and not without a future. That’s our hope. That’s our courage. And that’s our way forward.
