Faith Isn’t About Faking It—It’s About Trusting While Trembling

Let’s get honest.

A lot of people talk about “walking by faith”—
…but they don’t tell you what it feels like when your knees are shaking.

They don’t talk about the mornings when you pray, but still feel anxious.
Or the nights when you say you trust God, but your chest is tight and your mind won’t stop racing.

They don’t talk about how hard it is to believe in a future you’ve never seen…
when all you’ve known is disappointment, heartbreak, or just trying to survive.

Here’s the truth:
Faith is not about pretending to be okay.
Faith is not faking a smile, quoting a verse, and hoping nobody sees you struggling.

Faith is trembling—but trusting anyway.
It’s telling God, “I’m scared. I don’t get it. But I’m still showing up.”
That’s what real faith looks like.

It looks like tears and truth.
It sounds like “God, I believe—help my unbelief.”
It feels like courage and confusion living in the same body… and choosing to try again.

So if you’ve been feeling like your faith isn’t strong enough, stop beating yourself up.
You’re not less holy because you cry.
You’re not less chosen because you question.
You’re not disqualified because you’re scared.

You’re human. And your humanity doesn’t cancel your destiny.

This week, I want to remind you:
✨ You don’t have to have perfect faith.
✨ You just have to have honest faith.

God honors the shaky yes.
He honors the scared surrender.
He honors the you that’s still trembling… but still trying.

You don’t have to fake it.
Just trust while trembling—and keep going.

Because fear didn’t win.
And this?
This is your comeback season.


With Love + Truth,
