Put your trust in something you can trust

Greetings:
We are commanded to trust - meaning to put our confidence in, to be bold, to feel secure, and to rest easy in The Lord. 
God desires that we turn to him for our strength.
God desires that we rest safely knowing that His heart toward us is good...always.
God does allow distress, conflicts and hurts into our lives, but difficulties are our chance to let God work through our hearts to praise him through unshaken faith by his grace. 
If we want to grow stronger in our trusting of God, our faith will have to be stretched in order for this to happen. 
God knows the plan. He has revealed that plan in the Bible. Now, we as Christians, are charged with the task of following the plan.
There is no doubt that as Christians that we need to be pushed beyond where we feel we have things under control and where we sense that we are able to keep ourselves safe by our own means and power. 
Rather than trusting in our own strength, we ought to fall down before God and give our lives and our circumstances to him. 
God doesn’t want to merely come to our aid when things get beyond our control. God wants us to trust Him fully all the time. To trust Him with our hearts means that we let Him rule our thoughts, dictate our decision making, sanctify our emotions, and refine our desires. 
God desires full surrender, taking up our crosses, denying ourselves, and following Him
Read Matthew 16:24-26 if you want to know the criteria for being one of Jesus' followers. It says:“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?”
The road to spiritual strength and growth is not for the faint of heart, but for those who know how to pray and are willing to put in the time to build strength and faith. Then, we are directed to follow.
We have to come trusting God and as we come accept by faith our own weakness and inability apart from him. Through God we can do all things as we read in Philippians 4:13, but without God, nothing of true spiritual worth or gain is possible just  it says in Matthew 19:26, “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”
There are no exceptions listed. God says everything is possible.
Be blessed.
