Trust Issues

I have trust issues and you probably do too no one person trusts anything or anyone completely, simply because we have all had our trust somehow broken.

So, what happens in our lives when trust has been broken? We worry we struggle, we build walls for self-protection, we try to micromanage EVERYTHING in our lives, we react rather than respond, we live like victims with no joy or freedom, and realistically, the list goes on and on.

I would challenge you to think about trust, specifically if you are a Christ follower. Do you trust God? I asked myself the same question and quickly answered 'yes.' But then God said, "You don't trust me".

So, he was gracious enough to remind me of all the times I worried, micromanaged, controlled, and reacted harshly because, in those situations, I didn't trust he would take care of it or at least do it my way. Sound familiar

Loving God is not the same as trusting God. However, trusting God is a true reflection of loving God. Read that again. I can love God but do not trust that he will come through for me. But if I lay everything at his feet because I trust him, then my actions show my unwavering love for him. Without a shadow of a doubt, I trust that he WILL do what he said he would do.

No better time than the beginning of a new year to focus on what you can let go of and what to hold on to. Trust God and let go. Join me as we journey through a season of leaning into trusting God with all our hearts

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
