Trust God — He Will Fix Your Situation - Billy Graham

0:00 [Music] The doctor's report was not what you wanted to hear. The bank account is empty and the bills keep coming. Your marriage feels like it's hanging by a thread and your child is drifting away from everything you taught them. You lie awake at night staring at the ceiling praying, pleading, wondering if God hears you at all. You've tried everything you know, reason, strategy tears, but nothing seems to change. Bend, I came to tell you something that may sound simple on the surface, but it is a thunderous truth from the very mouth of heaven. Trust God. He will fix your situation. That is not a suggestion. That is not a

0:46 gentle idea. That is a declaration from the throne of the Almighty. When your hands are too weak to fight, when your mind is too weary to think, when your faith feels as small as a mustard seed it is then in the valley that God steps in with his mighty hand and says, "Be still and know that I am God. You may have reached your limit, but God has not reached his." You may have exhausted your resources, but the storehouses of heaven are still full. The one who parted the Red Sea. The one who made water flow from a rock. The one who raised Lazarus from the grave. He is still the same yesterday, today, and forever.

1:32 The enemy wants to convince you that your situation is beyond repair. He whispers lies into your ears, telling you it's too late, you're too broken it's too messed up, and no one can help you now. But Satan is a liar. He is the father of lies and he trembles at the sound of a believer who refuses to let go of God. You may not have all the answers. You may not know how it's going to work out, but you do know who holds the solution. And that, my friend, is enough. You see, faith isn't believing in what you can see. It's trusting in the one you cannot see. Because you know his character. You know he's faithful. You know he's merciful. You know he's just. You know he's kind. You know he's

2:19 a father who does not abandon his children. Faith is leaning on God when the winds of life are trying to knock you down. It's standing on the word of God when the world around you is sinking sand. It's lifting your eyes to the hills and declaring "My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth." And make no mistake, he will help you. He will fix what's broken. It may not look the way you thought it would. It may not come in the time you expected, but God has never failed. And he's not going to start with you. His timing is perfect. His methods are precise. And he always brings beauty

3:05 out of ashes. Some of you are walking through a fire right now. You feel the heat, the pressure, the confusion. But don't forget, God doesn't always take us out of the fire. Sometimes he gets in the fire with us. Just ask Shadrach Meshach, and Abednego. The flames rose around them. The king turned up the furnace, but when he looked inside, he saw not three men, but four, and the fourth looked like the son of God. That same savior is standing beside you in your fire. You're not alone. You're not abandoned. You're not forgotten. Maybe you've lost something precious. Maybe your heart is grieving and the

3:50 pain cuts deeper than words can express. Trust God. He sees every tear you cry. He catches them in his bottle and he will restore what the enemy tried to steal. Joel 2:25 says, "I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten." God doesn't just patch things up. He redeems them. He restores. He renews. And when he brings you out, you won't even smell like smoke. I know it's hard to trust when your world feels like it's falling apart. I know the temptation to give up is real, but hold on a little longer. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep praising in the dark. God is working behind the scenes aligning things, shifting hearts orchestrating miracles you can't yet

4:36 see. Just because it's silent doesn't mean he's absent. Just because he's quiet doesn't mean he's uninterested. God is always moving, always working always faithful. When Joseph was thrown into a pit, sold as a slave, and locked in a prison, it seemed like the dream God gave him had died. But in the depths of that dungeon, God was still writing the story. In one day, Joseph went from the prison to the palace. In one moment everything changed. And I declare to you in the name of Jesus Christ that your one moment is coming. The breakthrough is coming. The healing is coming. The restoration is coming. Your job is not to figure it out. Your job is trust when the bank account is low.

5:24 Trust when the doctor says there's no cure. Trust when your spouse walks away. Trust when your child won't come home. Trust when your friends don't understand. Because God understands. And he's already gone ahead of you. He's already made a way. He's already conquered every enemy, every fear, every chain. The cross is proof that God will go to the greatest lengths to fix what sin has broken. If he did not withhold his only son from you, do you really think he will withhold his help? Now Romans 8:32 declares, "He who did not spare his own son, but gave him up for

6:11 us all, how will he not also along with him graciously give us all things?" That's the God you serve. That's the God who fights for you. And don't you dare let shame convince you that your past disqualifies you from God's help. The blood of Jesus covers every sin, every failure, every regret. The enemy wants to chain you to your guilt, but God wants to set you free by grace. Run to him. Don't run away. Cry out to him. Don't harden your heart. He's not a God of condemnation. He's a God of restoration. And he's calling you right now to lay down your burdens and trust him. Let me tell you, when you trust God, you give him permission to do what only he can do. You take your hands off the steering wheel and let him drive.

6:58 You stop striving and start resting. You stop manipulating and start surrendering. And that's when the miracle happens. That's when the atmosphere shifts. That's when the walls of Jericho fall. The world teaches us to hustle, to fight, to push through by our own strength. But the kingdom of God teaches us to yield, to kneel, to rest in him. Isaiah 30:15 says, "In repentance and rest is your salvation. In quietness and trust is your strength." Your strength is not in how loud you shout or how hard you push. Your strength is in how deeply you trust. Some of you are on the edge of breakthrough, but you're also on the edge of burnout. God doesn't want you worn out. He wants you poured out in his

7:46 presence. Stop trying to fix what only he can fix. You weren't designed to carry this alone. Cast your cares upon him for he cares for you. That's not a metaphor. That's a mandate. That's your survival. Lift your eyes from your storm and fix them on Jesus. He is the author and finisher of your faith. He's not just the God of beginnings. He's the God who brings things to completion. He didn't bring you this far to leave you now. He didn't pull you out of the pit just to let you die in the desert. He has a promised land for you a purpose for you, a victory with your name on it. It's time to trust him with

8:32 your whole heart. Not halfway, not part-time, not only on Sundays. Trust him when the night is long. Trust him when the morning seems far away. Trust him when the pain won't go away. Trust him when everything in you screams to give up. That's the kind of trust that moves mountains. That's the kind of faith that shakes hell to its core. The enemy doesn't fear your talent. He doesn't fear your knowledge, but he fears your trust in God. Because when you trust God, you step into a realm where miracles are normal, where the impossible becomes possible, where chains are broken and destinies are

9:20 fulfilled. And that's why the devil has been fighting you so hard because he knows what happens when you fully surrender and trust God to fix your situation. Let your heart rise again. Let your hope live again. Let your faith breathe again. God is not finished with your story. He's not done with your marriage. He's not done with your family. He's not done with your ministry. He's not done with your healing. He's the alpha and the omega. He gets the first word and the final word. And his word is life power, victory, and promise. You may be standing in front of a wall a mountain, a dead end. But I'm here to

10:07 tell you, God specializes in impossibilities. What's too big for you is just the right size for him. He's not intimidated by your situation. He's not confused. He's not overwhelmed. He's in control. Trust him. He will fix it. Not maybe not possibly. He will. You are not defeated. You are not abandoned. You are not alone. You are loved. You are chosen. You are held in the palm of his hand. And when you can't see the way, he becomes the way. When you can't find the strength, he becomes your strength. When you don't have the words to pray, his spirit intercedes for you with groanings too deep for words. So today, with every

10:53 fiber of your being, make the decision to trust God. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. His path may be winding. It may be narrow, but it leads to glory. It leads to purpose. It leads to restoration. And every step you take in trust is a step closer to the breakthrough that's already on its way. The same God who calmed the storm with a word is the same God who will speak peace into your chaos. The same Jesus who opened blind eyes is the same Jesus who can open closed doors in your life. He is not distant. He is near. He is Emmanuel

11:41 God with us. He is healer, provider redeemer, friend. And he is still working all things together for your good. Trust him. Trust him when the night is long. Trust him when the battle is fierce. Trust him when your heart is broken. Trust him when your faith is tired. Because in the end, it won't be your effort that wins the victory. It will be his grace. It won't be your plan that saves the day. It will be his power. And when he brings you through and he will, you will stand and testify "It was the Lord who fixed it. It was the Lord who saved me. It was the Lord who made a way. Trust God. He will fix your situation. There is a sacred power

12:28 that is released when a believer chooses to trust God. Not after the miracle, but in the middle of the mess. That kind of trust doesn't come from comfort. It is forged in the furnace of affliction. It grows in the soil of unanswered prayers, in the shadow of loss, in the aching silence of heaven, when you're desperate to hear God's voice, but all you receive is stillness. And yet, even in that silence, trust speaks louder than fear. Trust declares "Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him." Trust says, "I don't need to see the outcome. I know the one who holds the outcome.

13:14 This kind of radical trust isn't passive. It's not weak. It is the strongest stance a soul can take. To stand on the word of God when everything around you is crumbling, the world sees it as foolishness, but heaven calls it faith. And let me tell you, faith still moves the heart of God. Faith still opens prison doors. Faith still shakes foundations. Faith still brings the rain to a dry land and raises the dead things back to life. There's someone listening right now who feels like their life is in pieces. Your situation looks irreparable. But I need to speak directly into your soul. God does not need the whole picture to make you whole again. He is the potter and you are the

14:00 clay. And what the world calls broken he calls moldable. What others call ruined, he calls redeemable. In fact, God often does his greatest work through what has been broken. He breaks the bread before he blesses it. He breaks the jaw before the fragrance can fill the room. He breaks the soil before the seed can grow. So if you feel broken, don't curse it. Surrender it. Because in the hands of God, your brokenness becomes the beginning of blessing. Trusting God is not about ignoring your pain. It's about refusing to let the pain define you. It's about saying, "I may be in the fire, but the fire will not consume me.

14:48 I may be in the lion's den, but the lions will not devour me. I may be walking through the valley of the shadow of death, but I will fear no evil, for my God is with me." Trust is not a denial of reality. It's a declaration of a higher reality that God is sovereign that God is in control, that God is working all things, yes, even the painful things for your good and for his glory. You may not understand it now, but the hand of God is on your life. And if his hand is on you, no weapon formed against you will prosper. No lie from hell can destroy the purpose he has planted inside of you. The trial you're facing

15:36 is not the end of your story. It is a chapter. And if you trust him, he'll write a testimony out of what was meant to be your tragedy. He'll take your mourning and turn it into dancing. He'll take your ashes and turn them into beauty. That's who he is. That's what he does. Some of you have been trying to fix things with your own hands. You've been trying to repair the marriage, rescue the business, manage the chaos. But friend, your hands are too small. Let the hands that formed the heavens take hold of your life. Let the one who calmed the sea speak peace into your storm. Let the one who multiplied the loaves take your not enough and turn it into overflow. You were never meant to

16:21 carry it all. You were meant to release it into the hands of the Almighty. The Bible says in Proverbs 3 5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths." That means even when your understanding says this doesn't make sense, your trust can say, "But I know my God." Your understanding may falter, but your trust can stand tall. And when you trust with all your heart God begins to order your steps in ways you never imagined. He will send the right people, open the right doors close the wrong ones, and make crooked places straight. This isn't about

17:07 wishful thinking. This is about divine alignment. This is about supernatural intervention. This is about the God who speaks to dead bones and commands them to live. You may think you're at a dead end, but God is about to breathe on the dry places. He's about to resurrect what you thought was gone. He's about to restore what you thought was lost. He's about to redeem what you thought was wasted. But it begins with trust. Not trust in your emotions, not trust in other people, not trust in the systems of man, but trust in the Lord your God. Trust in his promises. Trust in his timing. Trust in his word which does not return void. His word is alive. It is

17:53 sharper than any sword. It is a light unto your path and a lamp unto your feet. And when you stand on his word you are standing on a rock that cannot be shaken. There is a holy confidence that comes when you place your full weight on the character of God. When you say, "I don't need to see the map. I trust the guide." When you stop asking for details and start walking in obedience, that's when mountains move. That's when fear loses its grip. That's when joy begins to rise again. Not because the circumstances have changed but because your posture has changed. You've gone from striving to surrender from panic to praise, from worry to

18:38 worship. And let me say this, trust is not just for the easy seasons. Trust is for the hospital room. Trust is for the courtroom. Trust is for the dark night of the soul. Trust is for the moments when you don't know what to pray anymore. And if all you can do is whisper his name, Jesus, that is enough. Because that name is power. That name is peace. That name breaks every chain and silences every demon in hell. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you. And when you choose to trust God, that resurrection power begins to flow through every area of your life. It brings life to what is barren. It brings hope to what is hopeless. It brings joy to what is

19:24 sorrowful. And suddenly your situation begins to shift. Not because you forced it, but because you trusted the one who controls it. Don't measure God's ability by your situation. Measure your situation by God's ability. There is no sickness he cannot heal, no debt he cannot cancel, no relationship he cannot restore, no door he cannot open, no heart he cannot soften, no battle he cannot win. He is still the almighty the allsufficient, the all powerful king of kings. And he is not pacing the floors of heaven wondering how to help you. He already has the solution in place. He's just waiting for you to

20:10 surrender. And sometimes trusting God means letting go of your timeline. Letting go of how you thought it would unfold. Letting go of your pride, your fear, your control. Because the truth is control is an illusion. You were never in control anyway. But when you release it to God, you're placing it into the hands of the only one who truly knows what to do with it. There's a reason Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow." Because he knew worry steals your peace and poisons your faith. Worry says, "I have to figure this out." But trust says, "God's already worked it out." Worry looks at the problem. Trust

20:55 looks at the promise. Worry drains you. Trust strengthens you. Worry paralyzes you. Trust sets you in motion. And today, God is calling you to lay down the burden of worry and pick up the power of trust. Your circumstances may not be fixed overnight, but when your heart trusts God, everything changes. The way you walk changes, the way you pray changes. The way you face giants changes because now you know you are not fighting alone. Now you know you are not walking in your own strength. Now you know God is with you. And if God be for you, who can be against you? Some of you are on the verge of a miracle. But God is asking one thing of you. Trust me.

21:42 Trust me when you don't understand. Trust me when you can't trace me. Trust me when the door hasn't opened. Trust me when the door hasn't opened. Trust me when the answer hasn't come. Trust me when everything inside you wants to quit. Trust me and watch what I will do. Because what you call a delay, God calls preparation. What you see as denial, God sees as protection. What you think is the end God sees as the beginning. His thoughts are higher than your thoughts. His ways are better than your ways. And when you trust him, he will take you places your strength could never carry you. So lean

22:29 in, bow your heart, lift your hands, and release your situation to the only one who can truly fix it. He is not asking you to perform. He is asking you to believe. Not to have it all together but to surrender it all to him. The more you trust, the more you will see his hand move. The more you let go, the more you'll find peace. And the more you praise in advance, the more heaven begins to shift the atmosphere around your life. He is faithful. He is present. He is powerful. And he is working right now in ways beyond your imagination. Trust him. He will fix your situation. When you trust God, you are not surrendering to chance. You are

23:15 surrendering to purpose. You are placing your life in the care of a God who saw you before you were formed in your mother's womb. Who wrote every one of your days in his book before one of them came to be. That is not randomness. That is providence. That is divine orchestration. And when you align your heart with his purpose, you begin to live beyond survival. You begin to walk in destiny. Trust is not just about getting through. It's about rising up into the fullness of who God created you to be. Many people think trust is passive. But trust is warfare. It's a spiritual weapon. It's the declaration that says, "I won't be shaken. I won't

24:01 be moved. I won't bow to fear because I know who I belong to." When the enemy comes to plant lies, when he tells you it's too late, too broken, too far gone trust rises up like a lion and roars back. My God is still on the throne. My God is still able. My God is still making a way where there is no way. Trust silences the accuser. It paralyzes the plans of the enemy. It says, "I've got a savior who has never lost a battle." Let me tell you something friend. Your situation is not your identity. Your storm does not define your status in the kingdom of God. You may be facing sickness, but you are not forsaken. You

24:47 may be walking through loss, but you are not abandoned. You may be surrounded by trouble, but you are not crushed. Why? Because the spirit of the living God dwells inside of you. The same spirit that hovered over the waters in Genesis. The same spirit that fell at Pentecost, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the grave is alive in you. And when you trust him you give that spirit permission to move to heal, to restore, to deliver. There is a reason the enemy fights your trust so hard because he knows that trust unlocks heaven. He knows that when a child of God refuses to panic, refuses to give up, refuses to quit, and instead

25:33 stands on the promises of God, there's not a power in hell that can stop what God is about to do. That kind of faith shakes the foundations of darkness. That kind of trust confuses the enemy. That kind of confidence causes chains to fall and prison doors to fly open. You don't have to know how God will fix it. You only have to know that he will. Trust doesn't require the full picture. It simply requires you to say yes to the next step. Think about the children of Israel walking through the Red Sea. The sea didn't part until they moved forward. Sometimes God waits for you to step out in faith before he splits the waters. Sometimes the breakthrough doesn't come until you walk into the impossibility with the confidence that

26:20 your God is greater. And hear me trusting God doesn't mean you won't face disappointment. It means disappointment won't have the final word. It means you can cry, but you don't collapse. It means you may bend, but you will not break. It means you can walk through the fire and come out not even smelling like smoke because there's a fourth man in the fire with you. And as long as he's with you, the fire loses its power. We live in a world obsessed with results obsessed with control, obsessed with guarantees. But trust is the opposite of control. Trust is choosing to rest in the heart of the father even when the road ahead

27:07 is covered in fog. Trust is believing that his silence is not absence, that his delay is not denial, that his weight is filled with more love than the world's yes. Trust means we believe that even in the wait, even in the wilderness, even in the weeping, he is still working. Isaiah 64:4 declares "Since ancient times, no one has heard no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any god besides you who acts on behalf of those who wait for him." Did you hear that? He acts. He moves on behalf of those who wait. That means your waiting is not wasted. That means your patience is powerful. That means every tear every prayer, every moment you choose to trust instead of fear is building

27:53 something in the unseen that will manifest in God's time. Sometimes God doesn't fix the situation until he fixes your heart. Because often the real miracle is not what he changes around you, but what he transforms inside of you. And when you learn to trust him through the process, you come out with more than a solution. You come out with strength. You come out with wisdom. You come out with a deeper intimacy with the Savior that no storm can take away. And let me tell you something else. When God fixes your situation, it won't just bless you. It'll bless everyone connected to you. When God brought Joseph out of the prison he didn't just rescue one man, he saved

28:39 a nation from famine. When God healed the man at the pool of Bethesda it didn't just free him, it turned him into a testimony that shook the religious system. When God raised Lazarus from the dead it didn't just restore one family. It caused many to believe. That's the kind of God we serve. He doesn't just fix, he multiplies. He doesn't just restore. He redeems. He doesn't just help you cope. He causes you to conquer. So don't look at your problem through the eyes of limitation. Look at it through the eyes of heaven. Look at it through the lens of eternity. Because your present struggle is producing an eternal glory

29:25 that far outweighs the pain. Your temporary storm is preparing you for permanent victory. And when you trust God, even your scars begin to speak. Even your pain becomes prophetic. Even your weakness becomes a testimony of his power. There's no safer place than in the will of God. No sher ground than the promises of God. No firmer foundation than the love of God. And if you have him, you have everything. You may not have all the answers, but you have the answer. You may not have the road map but you have the guide. You may not see the full picture, but you belong to the oddest who paints in eternal stroke. Lift your eyes, child of God. Stop

30:12 staring at the problem and start looking to the hills where your help comes from. Your help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. The one who set the stars in the sky is the same one who holds you in his hand. The one who commands the oceans to stay within their boundaries is the same one who tells your storm, "Peace, be still." The one who conquered death is the same one who walks beside you every step of the way. He has not forgotten you. He has not overlooked you. He has not abandoned you. Even now, he is nearer than your next breath. Even now, his angels surround you. Even now his spirit is moving, preparing, arranging all things

30:58 according to his purpose. And what the enemy meant for evil, God is turning around for good. So choose trust. Not because you feel like it, but because your spirit knows the truth. Trust not because everything looks fine, but because you know the one who holds tomorrow. Trust not because you're strong, but because you know where your strength comes from. Trust with tears in your eyes. Trust when the odds are stacked against you. Trust when the night is long. Trust when the valley is deep. Because your God is faithful. Your God is mighty. Your God is already on the move. And when the story is told

31:44 when the dust settles, when the battle is over, people will look at you and say, "Surely the Lord was with them." They will see the goodness of God written all over your life. Not because you had all the answers, but because you had the audacity to trust him. And that kind of trust shakes the gates of hell and opens the floodgates of heaven. Trust God. He will fix your situation. So now I ask you, will you trust him? Not just with your words, but with your whole heart. Will you lay down your burden at his feet and walk away with peace instead of panic, worship instead of worry, and faith instead of fear? This is your moment, not just to hear the word, but to respond. This is the

32:31 moment. Heaven leans in waiting to see if you will release the grip on your own plans and surrender to the one who holds eternity. You don't have to know how he will do it. You only need to know that he will. The cross proves it. The empty tomb seals it. The spirit within you testifies to it. Trust God. He's not just going to fix your situation. He's going to fix your soul, your vision your path, and your future. And if you feel like you've walked too far away, if you feel like your doubt has disqualified you, hear me clearly. Grace is still reaching for you. Mercy is still available. The arms of the

33:17 father are still open wide. No failures final when God is in the story. No pit is too deep. No pass too stained, no wound too raw. The hand that formed the universe is the same hand stretched out to lift you now. And all it takes is one step, one cry, one surrender, one decision to say, "Lord, I trust you." Let this be the turning point. Let this be the day you stop trying to carry what only God can fix. Let this be the hour where you exchange anxiety for assurance, striving for surrender and pressure for peace. Take your eyes off the storm and fix them on the Savior.

34:03 Lift your hands in surrender. Let your heart believe again. Let your spirit rise again. Let your soul sing again. For the God who calms the seas is calming you now. The God who parts the waters is parting your way now. The God who opens graves is breathing life into your situation. Now this is the time to rise not in your own strength but in the strength of the Lord. This is the time to say, "Though the fig tree does not blossom, though there be no fruit on the vines, yet will I rejoice in the Lord." This is the time to believe that all things, yes, all things are working together for the good of those who love

34:49 him. This is the time to walk by faith not by sight. To declare with boldness "My God will supply all my needs. My God will heal. My God will restore. My God will fix this." So go now, not with fear, but with fire. Not with heaviness but with hope. Not with doubt, but with divine confidence that the same God who brought you this far will carry you the rest of the way. Let your trust in him be unshakable, unmovable, unstoppable. And let your life be a living testimony not just of what you came through, but of the one who brought you through it. Trust God. He's already fixing it. He's already making a way. And he's not

35:35 finished with you yet. Stand firm, child of God. The victory is his and so is the glory forever and ever.
