Stop Worrying. Trust God COMPLETELY.

I have been meditating on the scripture immediately below for a while now. I trying to learn to truly cast my worries on Him and then not worry about it again. This is something I always try to do but I find that though I tell Him all of my cares, I don’t leave them with Him. Worse still, after telling Him, I increase my load of cares and worry because I then start worrying about whether or not He would answer and if so, when would He answer. Trust is important, for you cannot cast your care upon He whom you do not trust. Even when you act like you have done so, you still bear the burden and are still very weighed down. 

1 Peter 5: 7 “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares.”

God has done everything He will ever do to let us know that there is nothing too difficult for Him. It means we have to learn to trust Him. It is true that trust is built; with God, it becomes your responsibility to do all it takes to trust Him. He is not going to do more than He has done. Unfortunately, God does not appear to make it easy. Whilst you are in the process of trusting Him, He allows all sorts of things go wrong. Sometimes it is to prove us, at other times, to prepare us for the challenges that lie ahead and also to build character in us. These things however, only seem to weaken our faith because we focus on the experience instead of the testimony. The testimony remains only long enough to be shared in church and then all our memories retain is the painful experience; but God encourages us to trust Him.

Hebrews 10: 35-36 “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised.”

I know that from time to time, we like to make other people know that we have challenges. Soon as we get the opportunity, we reel of our challenges, like we are the only ones challenged and only because we want to be pitied. You are doing yourself a disservice. God, it is, that sends good helpers and the right help required to resolve your worry. He doesn’t need you telling everyone about your burden to send the right help. He is all you need to tell help may arise from anywhere. It may be dependent on whom He is planning to favour and the person may not even know of His plan to favour them yet but He causes them to will and to do of His good pleasure that He may reward them.

Philippians 2: 13 “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.

As we wait for God to resolve our cares, it is of utmost importance that we stay away from murmuring and complaining. It is important that we remain in the right attitude after we have cast all our worries on Him. Instead of complaining and murmuring, let us make every effort to build our trust as we wait on Him. You have to be deliberate if you want to trust Him. Read your bible, talk with people that encourage your faith and keeps your eyes on Him. Of course, praying always with all prayer and supplication.

Philippians 2: 14 “Do everything without complaining or arguing.”
