Do I Trust?
It is easy for us to say “Yeah, I trust God.” when everything is going well.
Its easy for us to trust Him in the good times.
But trust is something that hits us hard when we hit a rough spot.
For me right now that trust is: Do I trust God when we are moving?
Do I trust God when our house is closing in less than three weeks and we don’t know where we are going?
Do I trust God with my tomorrow…. wherever tomorrow is?
Maybe for you its asking: Do I trust God when my loved one dies? Or my baby is miscarried? Or my job is lost? Or my child turns from the faith?
Do you trust God when worry, anxiety and doubt cloud over your mind?
Sometimes trusting God seems so hard. We like to know what will happen, where we are going and what our future will look like.
Trusting God is hard. Really hard.
Thankfully God is so great and His word is full of promises when we are doubting. Here are a few.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in Him, turn to Him and forget about solving your problems, leave it to Him, HE will direct your paths.
“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will act.”
Psalm 37:5
He will act! What a promise.
“Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:34
Read the whole passage of Matthew 6:25-34 to see how he clothes the lilies and feeds the birds. 😉
And a personal favorite of mine….
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will gaurd your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Phillipians 4:6-7
Let Christ know your worries and the peace of God which is better than any knowledge (where you will go, what you will do, etc.) will flood our hearts and minds.
So I don’t know where you are right now in life but if you have an area where you are anxious and worried and maybe struggling with trusting God, read His promises and just give Him everything. He will uphold you and strengthen you.
Keep on trusting!
Priscilla
P.S. Oh and scripture is riddled with more promises like the ones above so get your Bible out and find them!
