Life has a way of bringing unexpected challenges, and for me, one of the greatest struggles was learning to trust God in uncertain times. In 2010, I migrated from India to Singapore, filled with hope and uncertainty. For almost a decade, my family and I faced numerous struggles trying to settle down. The journey was filled with challenges—adjusting to a new culture, securing stable employment and navigating the complexities of life in a foreign land. There were moments of doubt when my prayers seemed unanswered, and I felt lost.
Yet, in that season of waiting, God was working in ways I could not see. Through Scripture, he reminded me of his faithfulness: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6 NIV). Slowly, I learnt to surrender my worries to him. Doors opened unexpectedly, opportunities arose and God, in his perfect timing, helped us make Singapore our second home.
Through these struggles, God not only strengthened my faith but also guided me in my career, church ministry and service at ETAC and at the General Conference. The greatest lesson he taught me was that trust is not about having all the answers, but believing he is in control no matter what happens. Looking back, I see how he was shaping my path, even in my weakest moments. Today, I walk with confidence, knowing that his plans are always greater than mine.
