When I let go — God took care of everything

Danielle | Germany

Fear, uncertainty, and a God who carries everything.

Everything inside me felt like it was falling apart.
And that’s exactly where God met me.

Fear.
Uncertainty.
Anxiety.

One month after having Covid,
I still hadn’t recovered.
My body simply wouldn’t cooperate anymore.

I struggled to breathe.
To speak.
To concentrate.

No matter how much I slept…
I woke up exhausted.
Completely drained.

And as if that wasn’t enough…

I had just started a new job.
I was still in my probation period.

Only one month in,
I found myself sitting in a doctor’s office—
overwhelmed, anxious, and afraid.

Afraid of losing my job.
My only source of income.

Afraid of the future.
Of my finances.

Because I had almost no savings left—
after using nearly everything for my mother’s
funeral just weeks earlier.

Everything felt like it was falling apart.

I cried.
I prayed.
I cried out to Him.

But it felt like God was silent.

And that silence made everything even harder.

How am I going to get through this?
How will I pay for everything?

And right there—
in the middle of that chaos—
God spoke to me.

Softly.

He said:

“Trust Me.

Place everything into My hands…
and watch what I will do.”

In that moment,
sitting in that medical office,
I simply said:

“Okay, Father.”

I let go.

My fears.
My finances.
My health.
My future.

I placed everything into His hands.

And I made a decision:
I would stop worrying.

“It’s in Your hands now.
Do what You know is best.”

That was in August 2022.

And from that day on,
I began to see God provide—again and again.

Every request for financial support was approved.

My accountant,
moved by my situation,
canceled over €600 of debt
and continued helping me free of charge.

I didn’t even have the strength to cook…

But God touched the hearts of people around me.

They brought me meals.
Again and again.

My fridge was never empty.

In fact, I experienced such provision
that I was able to give to others as well.

Every day,
God placed kind and caring people in my path.

And my biggest fear?

Losing my job.

It never happened.

Even today, years later,
I’m still unable to work due to my health—

but my contract was never terminated.

God preserved everything.

There are so many more things I could share…

But one thing I know for sure:

My heavenly Father knows exactly
what I need.

Better than I do.

And even today,
he takes care of me every day.

All glory belongs to Him.

“Behold the fowls of the air:
for they sow not,
neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.“
— Matthew 6,26 (KJV)
