Trust God!

Trust God.  Trust God.  How many times have you been told this?  You find yourself facing a challenging life crisis, a sudden turn for the worst, or any life event that is causing you some anguish and despair.  You called friends for advice, maybe talked with your spouse, parents or pastor.  And the message you have heard over and over is to Trust God.  Trust God, how does a person Trust God?  What does a person do to improve their Trust in God?  Where does a person begin?   I prayerfully hope that I can shed some light on your quest to Trust God.

First to Trust God, you must truly believe that he is God and that he will do what he said he will do.  To help you in this revelation, study the Genesis, Chapter 1.  When God created the world and all that we see, he first said and then he saw.  I repeat, “He said it and then He saw it.”  He saw what He said - very simple, but very powerful.  Make a decision to believe in the power of God.  All it takes is a decision.

Second, you must know God’s word concerning your situation.   If you need a physical healing, study the scriptures on healing, pick out one or two and memorize, meditate and declare/say them out loud.  For starters go to the Book of Isaiah 53:4-5.  If your situation requires wisdom, study the Book of Proverbs.  Whatever your need is, you must find what God has said, or Jesus, study the scripture or passage, meditate on it and give it your voice. Trusting in God is going to take some work on your part.  There are some things that you have to do for your Trust in God to grow and develop.  If it is important enough, you will do it.

Third, repent of your sins every day and forgive others. Sin and not forgiving others can block your prayers, so be sure to take care of this daily.  You cannot afford to have your blessings blocked. The Word of God assures us that if we repent of our sins, God will forgive us and throw them in to the lake of forgetfulness.   Your part in this is to ask God to forgive you so he can work on your behalf.  Again a simple truth, but we complicate it.  Stay with simple, by just doing it. 

Finally, thank and praise God for his mercy, for delivering you, for answering your prayers and for just being who He is.  Remember, when you say what God has said, you are talking and praying to God.  The Word of God says that he roams the earth looking for someone he can bless.  He is waiting on you to bring your challenge or situation to him.  God bless!
