Do you always hear from other believers, "Just pray about it"? Or "Have you prayed about it as much as you think about it"?

Y'all this statement has so much truth, in the Bible it says "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7) I don't know about you but this verse right here is so comforting. Do not take all your burdens upon yourself, give them all to Jesus, at the moment you realize how powerful God is, you will be blown away. You just need to: Give it all to God, don't worry, and just trust.

1. Giving it all to God

This can be difficult if you do not have a personal relationship with him, with having a personal relationship you feel the utmost amount of comfort and care. We were not put on earth to do life alone, God our father is always there for you, and will never let you down. If you are not giving all your trust to God you are not living the life that is honoring unto Him!

2. Don't worry

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." (John 14:27) When you are at the point that you give all your anxieties, and troubles to God, this will be between you and him, this is such an amazing thing because God already knows what you are going through, when you are able to express your feeling to God it makes you fully recognize what you are going through but it also gives God confirmation that you trust his authority.

3. Just Trust

Trusting God with your prayers can be very difficult, because God is going to make happen what will be best for the whole situation, in response you may be very pleased with the outcome or you may become very confused; sometimes what you have prayed and how it was answered is not what you wanted. Coming to an understanding why God answered your prayer the exact way he did is important because through the answered prayer will come great joy. Understanding trust in Jesus is very important a few verses that will hit the "Trust God" on the head are Psalm 62:8, Proverbs 3:5, Isaiah 12:2. In Psalms 62:8 "Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding." Isaiah 12:2 "“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.

What has inspired me to write this post about Trusting God with your difficult times and situations, is a situation I had personally gone through last March and into April, I am a college student, very friendly and caring towards all, but caring and friendly in a guy's eyes isn't always the same as a woman sees it. I had been struggling earlier on in the semester about not feeling like I had a connection with a guy friend, in reality, this is the way God wanted it, but I took it upon myself and started hanging out with friends that were not bearing the fruit of Christ, and had a huge influence on me, through all of the influence, I was at E-Woman's conference in Tulsa OK, and I was able to just reflect how I have been living (not) for Christ by the influence I had picked up on. So the whole next week I was praying to God telling him to take whatever out of my life that is pulling my focus away from the relationship between him and I. I'm telling you God must have really wanted this person taken out of my life, not even a week later God had fulfilled my prayer. Was it the answer I wanted? No! Not at all. But, through this whole situation, the amount of knowledge and confirmation that I have received is amazing. As a daughter of Christ, I want to love my father as much as I can. But when I was tied up in this situation I was putting God aside and putting my "worldly pleasure" as number one. It is very sad that it took something like this to fully realize that I can put all my trust in God, and if I don't I will take on the worldly pleasure and have regrets that just keep the baggage piling up! It is almost a year later and I still struggle with this situation at certain times. I can honestly say that my relationship with Christ has quadrupled since I fully gave all my trust to him. Through trusting God fully life is a lot less worrisome and so much more enjoyable.
