Learn to Trust Him MORE!!

Many times we as humans feel as though it is our job to control our life. When in actuality, we are to pray and see what God says concerning our life.

In 2 Corinthians 9:8, we're told, "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

In Philippians 4:6, we read "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." While we lie awake, unable to sleep because of our worry and distress, God is waiting for our request. He is waiting for our prayer and petition so that He can be God and all we have to do after praying is wait and be patient, AND REST!!

He knows what we want, what we need and the difference between the two. In Isaiah 41:13, He says, "For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Note that He offers His help. God's help can come in many ways, shapes, and forms. How often have you gone through trials only to look back some time later and realize that you would never have believe things would work out that way? Maybe one of the reasons we have a hard time giving it up to God is because we will have to live in His answer instead of just having an answer given to us. That does take great trust. But God is worthy of great trust.

As God said in Jeremiah 32:27 "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?"
Do you believe that? So why don't we believe he has and knows the plans for our future?

God's way is different. God says that we will only SEE, when we first BELIEVE! The "believing" comes first. We must believe that God WILL do what He has already promised to do. Only then will we see the promise fulfilled


So, how do we get to know God so well that we can trust Him with our life? How do we develop that trust in God? How do we get to KNOW Him that well?
There is only ONE way:

Daily Bible study and prayer!
