Trusting God

A couple of years ago (Feb. 2010), I was going through some challenging times.  Through out that time, God began to challenge me in regards to trusting Him.  In the process of seeking Him, His Spirit fell upon me and spoke to me words of encouragement. 

This morning, as I was tiding up my truck, I found a hard copy of that message.  What is presented is as relevant to what I am facing today as I did back then. 

• "Trust in the LORD with all you heart, and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."  (Prov. 3:5-6).    
• Trust (love) Me with your heart, mind, and soul (Matt. 22: 37).  Give Me your all when you are trusting Me (Mark 12:30).  When you are trusting Me, stop complaining, being anxious, and getting angry.  It does not do you any good, but instead hurts you more (Prov. 12:25).
• When you trust Me, seek Me with all of your being (Deut. 12:5); believe in me wholly, with all of your all.  If you do not believe, how can you receive that which you need?  You must first believe in Me, trust in Me, and then you shall receive (Mark 11:24)
•  Do not grow tired or frustrated in working; trust me, "Be still, and know that I am God ..." (Ps. 46:10).  I am the Lord God Almighty (Rev. 4:8); is there anything that is too hard for me (Jer. 32:27).  I care over the wilderness and seas; I am the Caretaker of all things; how much more do I not care for you and your needs (Luke 12:22-30).
• "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:6-7).
• Do no fear, for I am with you says the Lord (Is. 41:10).  For perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18); My love is perfect. If you have My love within you, then you will not fear; put your trust in Me.

It is my hope that this message serves as a form of encouragement to you as it has served me and others with whom I have previously shared this message. Amen.
