Learn to walk trusting God

Greetings:
God's Word tells us to trust him and not lean unto our own understanding.
That's easy to say and hard to do.
Pastor/author Rick Warren says, “The biggest mistake people make when we're overwhelmed is focusing on the problem. We don't look to God. We put our eyes on the problem instead of God.  When you ask many people, “How are you doing?” they say, “I'm doing OK — under the circumstances.” What are you doing under the circumstances? Who put you there? Why don't you get on top of the circumstances? Circumstances are like the mattress on your bed. Get on top of them, and you'll rest easy. Get underneath them, and you're going to suffocate.”
Do we view every event, every sorrow, every prayer with the unshakable conviction that God is totally, spotlessly trustworthy?
That's where we mess up. We want to trust in anything rather than the Lord. We'll trust in our own abilities, in our boss's judgment of us, in our money, our doctor, even in an airline pilot. But the Lord?
It's easy to trust in things we can see.
That's where faith comes in.
Hebrews 11:1 reads, "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about things we cannot see."
When you really trust in the Lord, we feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off our shoulders. The pressure's off us now and on God, and he can handle it perfectly.
When we believe Him we open the doorway of our Spirit to let Our Father move in His power mightily through us.  He will never do anything against our will or desires.  All He asks us to do is trust and believe Him.
In Mark 9:23 Jesus said to a man, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
All of our coins and paper currency contain the statement, "In God We Trust".
We need to put that statement into action in our lives.
My prayer this morning is simple.
I want to love Him more, seek Him earnestly, and trust Him with every day, every circumstance, every desire that I have.
God's thoughts, God's ways, God's plan, God's timing – they are still mysteries to me, and they are so much higher than I am.
I need to trust Him to teach me to trust Him.
It takes time. It takes patience. It takes prayer.
Be blessed.
