A Real-Life Story: Andrew’s New Beginning
Andrew was a skilled architect known for his creativity and dedication. Despite his talents, he faced unexpected challenges when a major client canceled a contract, leaving his firm on the brink of closure. Overwhelmed by financial strain and doubt, Andrew questioned his future.
One evening, while revisiting his childhood Bible, Andrew stumbled upon Proverbs 3:5. The words struck a chord: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Determined to surrender his worries, Andrew prayed earnestly and decided to place his trust in God. A week later, an old colleague reached out, offering him a project that aligned perfectly with his vision. As Andrew poured his heart into the work, he saw doors open in ways he could never have orchestrated.
Today, Andrew’s firm thrives, and he attributes his success to trusting God. He often shares, “True success begins when you trust God, even when the path is unclear. His plans are always greater than ours.”
