Fretting: Headaches, stomach problems, depression, just generally feeling down, anxious, fearful
Are you experiencing any of the symptoms above? Do you feel like you are looking into a deep dark abyss and everything seems totally hopeless?
Trust: Assured alliance on the character, ability, strength or truth of someone; Hope makes you feel you are not alone, Jesus is with you. Guidance, Support and Peace
The Trinity; God, Jesus and Holy Spirit is the only One Who fits all of the above when trusting. He is Truth.
His Word says: “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”
Philippians 4:6
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
What is the first thing we do when a problem that is way over our heads comes out of nowhere and we can’t see any way out of it? The answer to that question depends on our relationship with Jesus.
Most of us will immediately try to fix the problem and sometimes make it worse. We find ourselves frustrated and helpless, not knowing what to do.
God tells us, emphatically, not to worry or fret or be anxious about anything, so emphatically, that He calls it sin.
When we worry we are saying to Him that we don’t trust Him. We don’t believe that He could handle our problem.
Now I know this is not easy to do when we are looking at a problem looming over us. But we do have a choice; God gave us a free will.
We can either worry and be anxious or we can, with determination, decide to trust God to take care of that annoying ominous problem.
When the problem started did you go to the phone or did you have a talk with Jesus first?
Speaking to Him daily will bring you closer to Him and you will learn of His Character, Personality, Ability, Strength, Truth and, I will add, Love that our Jesus has for us.
I know from experience with Him that I can trust him completely with all of my storms that hit me. In my 75 years on this earth He has never failed me yet. When he solves the problem, He does it in a way that is so perfect and complete.
