After walking through the trauma of losing my husband and raising five children alone, my faith wasn’t just shaken—it felt shattered. I had trusted God. I had prayed. And yet life still fell apart. Maybe you’ve asked the same thing. When you’ve been through deep trauma, trusting God again can feel impossible. But here’s the truth I had to learn the hard way: God never stopped being trustworthy—even when life broke me. “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” — Isaiah 43:2 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” — Psalm 34:18
