I understand trusting isnโt easy.๐
Wait, you really think trusting is easy?๐ฒ
How are you doing it, sir/ma? Iโm humble and I want to learn. ๐
Sometimes, we want everything fixed and aligned before we can trust, but if everything is fixed and aligned, how is that faith?
Iโve been caught in this many times.๐คฆ๐
Faith sees what isnโt there, thatโs why it can be so hard, because how do you want me to be convinced that everything is working out fine, when all I see in front of me is heartbreaking and jumbled?
How do you just want me to believe and let you handle it without thinking about if it wouldnโt get worse. Like!๐ฉ
Every area of our lives presents situations where we have to give up everything and just trust.
Trust. Trust. Trust.
We have to trust God with our lives.
We have to trust our spouses.
We have to trust the babysitter.
We have to trust that online vendor.
We have to trust the school system and hospitals.
Sometimes we just trust these people and system without even knowing the strong faith we have in them.
Trusting wasnโt always easy for me, I loved doing things myself and getting the blame for it if things didnโt come out fine. I donโt like blaming others for something I should have done myself.
Learning more about God and realizing that Iโd have to let go and let God handle things for me wasnโt something that was easy for me.

But Iโm gradually releasing everything that makes trusting hard for me and lean unto God. Yay! The Bible talks about the many blessings of trusting God, but today I want to talk about the personal blessings Iโve gotten from just trusting God.
Iโll talk about 3 of them, you ready?๐
1. Trusting God gives you peace. The peace is naturally the resultant effect of letting God in and stepping out of the way.
2. Trusting God takes fear away and fills you with confidence. I listened to something a while ago and it said, โyou can never fear anything you have control over.โ The truth in that sentence ehn. See, would you fear when you know you have been given power over this and with faith you can just kick it out? Thatโs how it is with trusting God for me, I take authority over the issue in prayer then I rise in confidence knowing that it is settled. If you are privileged to drop something at the feet of the Most High, then your faith should be leaping for joy. Which brings me to the third one.๐
3. Trusting God fills me with an indescribable joy that could only come from within. This is self explanatory. When I trust, I let go of baggage that represents anxiety, fear and confusion, I give room for the Spirit to stay comfy in my life and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is fullness of joy. I trust and I believe that God heard, Iโm filled with joy that this big God is taking his time to listen to what I have to say.
Weโve come to the end of todayโs blog post, Iโll love to know what you think about what Iโve just shared.
What benefit of trusting God have you experienced personally?
Iโll love to read from you.
