I ave praying a lot lately about trusting God. With my future. With my family. With the current day’s issues. I have been led to pray for God’s Spirit to help me lean on Him more…to trust Him no matter what happens.

Jesus commanded this very thing…

Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me.
John 14:1, NLT

As I was praying this morning I got a sense of how ridiculous is is for me not to trust God. Why wouldn’t I trust the God who spoke the worlds into existence? How could I not trust a God who has never once ( not ever, ever, ever) failed to come through for His children?

The prayer itself seems a little ridiculous…but I know my prayer is not about His faithfulness, but about my lack of trust. Or to put it more directly, it’s about my own self-dependence and self-reliance.

So I am learning to trust in Him instead of trusting in my own strength (or weakness). It’s a process…and it’s in process…
