“Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart And Lean Not To Your Own Understanding.”
This is certainly easier said than done, isn’t it? These words spoken in Proverbs 3:5 are just as relevant today, as they were 3000 years ago when they were written. My problem is “my own understanding” getting in the way of my trusting in the Lord. I’ve found that if I start each day by giving God my day and my life, the trusting comes more readily. When I overthink situations, it also makes the trusting more difficult. It seems better to do our best and then trust Jesus with the rest!
Trying to trust,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
