Transitions are some of the most challenging moments in life. Whether it’s stepping into a new job, moving to a new city, or navigating a relationship shift, change has a way of shaking our sense of security. But it’s often in those uncertain seasons that God invites us to trust Him more deeply.
When Maha accepted a new job in another state, she thought she was prepared for the change. The role seemed like an answered prayer: better pay, opportunities for growth, and a chance to live closer to family. But when she actually arrived, the transition was harder than she imagined.
“I thought stepping into this job would instantly feel like a blessing,” she admitted. “But instead, I found myself battling loneliness, struggling to connect with coworkers, and questioning if I had made the right choice.”
The hardest part came when her long-distance relationship ended shortly after the move. “It felt like everything I thought I had lined up with God was falling apart. I started wondering if I had misheard Him.”
During those months, Maha said she learned the difference between placing faith in circumstances and placing faith in God.
“There were nights I sat in my apartment crying, asking God why He brought me here. But over time, I began to see His hand in the little things—the neighbor who invited me to church, the new friend who prayed with me after work, the peace that came when I read Scripture. It was like God was whispering, ‘I’m still here. Trust Me.’”
Slowly, her perspective shifted. “I realized that God didn’t call me here just for a job—He called me here to grow my trust in Him. The circumstances weren’t perfect, but His presence was constant.”
Looking back, Maha says she wouldn’t trade the experience. “I learned that trusting God in transition means releasing control of how I think things should look and resting in His promise that He works all things for good. It wasn’t about the move, the job, or even the relationship—it was about God shaping my faith.”
Transitions will always be a part of life. They stretch us, challenge us, and sometimes break us. But when we lean into God during those uncertain times, we discover He is not just present—He is faithful.
Like Maha’s story reminds us: the season may change, but God never does.
