When experiencing difficulty, pain, challenge, hardship, uncertainty, fear, worry, anxiety, addiction, and more, have you ever just questioned where God was? Does He even hear my cry? Does He even know my thoughts? Will He ever show up? Why is this happening to me? Or how about the infamous, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”

This makes me think of the book of Habakkuk where even in the midst of Habakkuk’s doubt, uncertainty, and frustration, God reminds Him that even though you may not understand what’s happening now, if you just TRUST me and live by FAITH, you’ll see that I can make ALL things work together for the good of those who love me and whom I have called according to my purpose (Romans 8:28). 

Today’s Built Different Guest is no stranger to affliction and adversity! Grant Troutt is one of the most kind, genuine, and life-giving people you will ever meet, but life wasn’t and still isn’t always easy! Having experienced countless injuries that eventually ended his athletic aspirations, to getting lost in addiction… Grant has had his fair share of anger and doubting God. Yet, even though this life is hard and God never promised otherwise, He has reminded Grant that His plan is still perfect and His timing is never late! He just simply asks us to trust His plan and pleads with us to not lose our hope, because hope is never lost, sometimes it just needs to be redirected. Hope is a person! 

Our prayer is that through this episode, you would feel encouraged, refreshed, and challenged to keep trusting, believing, and surrendering every day over to what the Lord has planned for your life! You know why? Because the Lord gets your pain. He understands your suffering. He too has experienced it and is currently in your midst experiencing it all with you right now! He has never left your side! Hebrews 4:15 says, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses…” but the beautiful thing is that as 1 Peter 5:10 reminds us that, “After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

My friends this too shall pass, and as Grant reminds us throughout this episode, what if your most PAINFUL moments and seasons were PREPARING you for your greatest PURPOSE in this life! Don’t give up now! When we TRUST in our trustworthy God, we don’t need to know why. We only need to know Him.
