Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
I have been a web content creator since 2013, but artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly taking over my field of work. My clients have begun fizzling out as they turn to AI for content creation. With bills piling up and my daughter in college, I have felt like I am in a raging storm without any viable solution.
One Sunday as I studied God’s word, I read Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” These words were like a lifeline. They taught me that while I could do nothing on my own, I should trust God’s plan for me.
As I continue to pray for God’s guidance and a breakthrough, peace has pervaded my life. I know that God’s plan for me is good; God has not brought me this far to abandon me. I feel more confident now as I seek freelancing opportunities, trusting in God no matter what. Uncertainty doesn’t mean God is not present. I have realized that this experience was not just about finding a job; it also taught me to trust God more, particularly during uncertain times.
I will trust God even though I cannot see what tomorrow holds.
