Trust

Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Sometimes life finds us in a place where we don’t want to be or in a place we don’t understand. Even lost. Yet God knows why we need to be there and for how long. Saying we trust God is not as easy as actually trusting God.

God supplies all our needs, including friendships. He places people in our lives at different times and through different circumstances. Sometimes relationships put us through hurts and pain and we find it difficult to trust again. Jesus himself had friends turn against him, but he still trusted his heavenly Father. He trusted God no matter the circumstances. Situations change again and again but we need to step out in faith and allow the Lord to close one door so He can open another.

There’s no shame in daring to hope but God’s plan is made for our benefit so His glory can be revealed. Our Lord will never leave us. He will take us and move us forward in a strength; strength we may have thought we had lost. He will supply all our needs, yes, even friends who love without judgement and pray with and for us.

Jeremiah 17:7 says: “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”

Father, you are always with us and you know our every situation. You know exactly what we need at the very time we need it, and who is needed to guide us through.  You also know when we need to let go and step out in faith, trusting in new a tomorrow, and thank you for opportunities to know true friendships. Amen.

  1. “Our Lord will never leave us. He will take us and move us forward in a strength, which we once had thought we had lost forever. He will supply all our needs. We just need to trust him.” Amen, thank you for the post.

  8. These words are such an encouragement. So many of my own thoughts at various points are echoed here. I forget too often to stop and let Our Father take my hand or lift me up. Thank you.🦋🌈
