Can We Trust  God in All Circumstances?

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Dictionary.com  defines  trust as: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.  

If you have ever experienced trust issues you are not alone.   Increasingly it is becoming difficult to trust those around us especially with sensitive information about ourselves or our loved ones especially if we feel our trust may be mishandled or misplaced. The dread or fear of being betrayed can become immense.  So how can we resolve this? 

How To?

The best way to learn about trusting the Lord in difficult times is to go to the promises of God.  When was the last time that you spent time studying The Word of God?  God’s Word is replete with His promises that teach us about having faith in Him even through the difficult and hard times.  The book of Proverbs tells us that we must trust  with all our hearts, leaving no room for gaps or doubt.  

The Word of God tells us not to worry but this is not always easy to do.  Furthermore we are instructed to pray and to do so with regularity! Prayer will not only help to change the situation you face but it will also change the way you look at your situation. 

Yes, you can trust God, He will not fail or betray you and, as an added bonus, He will give you peace even when everything around you is in turmoil.  Allow yourself to trust God and you too will experience the peace of God.   

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your 

hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
