Balancing on this Fence: Learning to Trust God When Life Doesn't Make Sense

By Michael David

What do you do when life doesn't make sense and the answers never come?

Faith is often described as certainty. But real faith is usually formed somewhere else entirely in the waiting, in the tension, and in the moments when clarity feels just out of reach.

In Balancing on This Fence, Michael David offers an honest, faith-centered reflection on learning to trust God when outcomes are unclear and control is gone. Through deeply personal stories of family, loss, near-tragedy, and endurance, this book explores what it means to keep moving forward when you're caught between fear and faith.

This is not a book of formulas or quick fixes. It doesn't promise easy answers or polished conclusions. Instead, it invites readers to slow down, breathe, and rediscover a faith rooted not in circumstances but in trust.

Blending memoir, devotional insight, and moments of intentional stillness, Balancing on This Fence creates space for reflection rather than resolution. Each chapter is paired with quiet pauses that allow the reader to sit with their own questions, doubts, and hopes without being rushed toward explanation.

This book is for anyone who:
Is tired of faith that feels too neat or overly simplified
Has wrestled with unanswered prayers or unexpected outcomes
Feels caught between trusting God and wanting control
Is learning to walk forward without seeing the whole path

If you've ever asked, "What was the point?"
If you've ever felt suspended between what you hoped for and what actually happened...
If you're learning to trust God one step at a time

This book is for you.

Because sometimes faith isn't about choosing a side.
It's about learning how to stand, steady and honest, right in the middle.
