Do Not Question. Just Trust.

Have you ever wondered why after you receive unexpected news more bad news follows right after? Well lately that is what I felt like has been happening to me. All I could do is ask God why? Why this? Why now? Why me? My whole life has never been easy and I have been fighting a battle since I was a little girl. I did not have a normal childhood and as I grew older I made mistakes that I regret and that have changed my life in more ways than I ever imagined. And now, yet again, I am at a crossroads in my life. However, despite the seasons changing, God never changes. And over and over He has spoken deep into my heart and kept saying, “Do not question. Just trust. Your story is different than the person next to you. I am asking you to walk a different journey. You can reach people that others cannot. Just like other people can reach people that you cannot. I have destined you for greatness. Be still and know that I am God. Wait. Find My peace. Hope. Trust. Trust. Trust.” I’ve been studying the word trust and I came up with the conclusion that in order to trust someone, in my case being God, I am risking to experience pain. At the same time, trust requires me to let go and depend that God does know better. The dictionary definition of trust is, “Firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” Firm belief. So I am taking a leap of faith and firmly believing that the Lord is sovereign and He can be trusted! In the midst of pain and trials and struggles He is still good! He is faithful. His promises are yes and amen! In the meantime my job is to praise Him in the storm!
