Greetings:
Trusting God means exactly what it says. We trust him fully every day - no matter how we feel, what we see, what we hear, regardless of our circumstances.
In our hearts, we believe God is who he says He is.
God desires that we turn to him for strength.
God desires that we rest safely in His care.
God does allow distress and conflicts into our lives, but difficulties are our chance to let God work.
God doesn’t want to merely come to our aid when things go bad and 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 direct our thoughts, dictate our decision-making, sanctify our emotions, and refine our desires.
God wants 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 it is 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.
Be blessed.
