Lauren, I like how you said this is part of your sanctification process, a wonderful way to view it!

True, Joanne. Saying and doing are polar opposites when it comes to the spiritual journey, especially trusting God. The “without hesitation” part is the hardest of all. After many times of God proving He is worthy of my trust, this gap narrows.

Thanks for your added insight, Donna. Yes, the enemy has his own agenda when it comes to trials and hardships we go through on what he hopes we will do or not do. Thankful God’s Word reminds us to turn to Him and trust in His heart and promises.

Ha! Exactly, Michele. What are we thinking?! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not trust in your own understanding. Agree with Him in all your ways, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLV)

Glad this encouraged you, Debbie. Where we put our confidence makes all the difference in the world.

So true, Bethany. But the Lord always teaches me the deeper spiritual lessons and builds my trust during the hard times.

Me too, Lisa. That spiritual hindsight, looking back on God’s faithfulness over and over builds out trust.

It is really comical, Barbara, how we think we can do a better job than God himself. I mean, if He created the world and me, and He manages the universe, wouldn’t He manage my life best, too? Thanks for your comment.
