Trusting God Feels Impossible Sometimes – Hebrews 4:16
I often talk about how my trust is in God and that with Him I do not fear.
But, if I’m honest, I don’t always live that way.
I’ve wasted days twiddling my thumbs, shuffling my feet,
and letting anxiety take too much time/energy.
The patterns of my past effectively said:
“I know you say to trust in you God, but I don’t think you can handle this.”
This year, I really don’t want to be a thumb-twiddling, feet-shuffling woman of God.
When I face health scares and challenging relationships,
I want to be one that truly trusts in God through my words and actions.
Further, this year I will not only flee from anxiety & fear, but I will fight against them.
One of my favorite bible verses talks about how God cares for us and is always ready to help.
You can bet I’m going to approach Him on a daily basis to trust in his provision, and remove anxiety.
If you’d like me to add you to my prayer to give God your anxieties and fears this year, comment below,
I’ll add you to my prayer this evening in hopes it helps trusting God easier for you!
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16
“Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap; they have no storehouse or barn, yet God feeds them.
How much more valuable are you than the birds!
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifespan?
So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?…”
Luke 12:24-26
Cheers,
Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
