Trust

DEAR LORD,
There are so few people that I really trust. And if I'm honest, I have to ask if I fully trust you, especially when tough times come into my life. Distrust is so painful because it causes me to question others' motives. But trust is a beautiful gift. When I trust others, our relationships are deepened because I know that what they tell me is true and that they are acting in my best interest. If I can't trust you, O God, the only one who is completely trust worthy, I will never experience true peace, and I won't be able to engage in a relationship with you. Help me to trust you, for you alone are trustworthy. When I learn to trust you, I will never have to question your motives. Lord, may I be absolutely confident that you always have my best interest in mind because your love for me is so great.

*** Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. PSALM 9:10 ***

It has been a very long day today and I want to apologize for such a late post, but I have to say that sometimes the wait proves to be worth it. I wasn't for sure about what to share and I've been taking in todays prayer and bible verse. To some it up with out dragging on , I trust the Lord as much as humanly possible. I admit that I have moments, instances and trails that do cause me to second guess and to worry. But from those I have learned that unless I whole heartedly have trust in God I can never know the security that comes with it. I've made, and my husband and I together , many a decision trusting in the Lord. We've heard questions about how we can just go off of faith alone but no one can truly understand it if they dont have that same faith and trust. Its also something that is very hard to explain without more questions arising. The most beautiful experience I have had concerning trust in the Lord is one not soley mine but shared with another. I was asked " How can you make a decision from feeling "Thats what Your God" wanted?" After I had smiled and taken a deep breath I went on to explain what I had been through and how God had got me through so much and what I was able to share with others as an encouragement, I witnessed a change in expression and body language that told me I had shared the Lord with someone who was seeking Him but was unable to fully trust in Him. I'd like to think that throughout my life I can and will be a tool for the Lord. I share what I can when I can , being lead by the Lord. But its moments like those that reaffirm my trust in Him.
