trust

Trust in the hard times. Trust in the dark. Trust in the light. Trust in all times.

Easier said than done.

All i have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all i have not seen. Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I'm in a season that feels dark much of the time. I don't know what He is doing. Not really. I know one thing He is doing--developing my trust in Him. He has to be. That's what He does in our seasons of waiting.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding... (prov 3:5)

Lean not on your own understanding. Ohhh Lord i don't understand. Trust. But, Father, what am i to do? Where am i to go? Trust.

Even in the dark. Even in the lonely times. He is faithful to bring to completion all the works that He began. If that's true, and if i believe this, then i have nothing left to do but take a deep breath and trust. Rest. Believe. Trust.

I think it pleases the Lord when we turn to Him--not really even turn to Him, but RUN to Him in the times of the unknowing. Even when it's hard. And dark.

If you're reading this blog i would love it if you could do me a HUGE favor. Could you pray that the Lord would show me where i am to work and where i am to live? You see, my job ends in just a couple of short months and my apartment lease is up in 2 months also. Thank you so much.

Father, would you teach me to trust you more today? Will you bring me deeper into relationship with you during my time of waiting? You are the keeper of my heart, Lord. I want to know you more. I want to love you more. I want so badly to trust you more. You are in control and i proclaim this today. You've never failed me before and i surely believe you never will. Show me your glory, show me your light through this season that feels like the darkness. Father, would you RAIN down your blessings on me and each soul that reads this blog? Jesus, fill us up to overflowing with your spirit. We choose trust.

Amen.
