How Do We Build Solid Trust in God?
Slide 4 of 5
– Read and study the truth of His Word daily. If you are not reading God’s Holy Word in-depth every single day of your life then you won’t know who He is, what He’s done or what He can do for you.
– Communicate with God through prayer. Before you begin each day, take a moment to earnestly pray to God. Lay all of your burdens on Him, ask for guidance for the day and how you can honor Him. To take things a step further, establish a prayer time as a part of your morning routine so it becomes a habit.
– Grasp an understanding of who God is to you. Many times we are so focused on who God is as the Creator of all things, but we rarely take the time to fully understand who He is to us, personally. Take some time to reflect on how God has brought you through past times, how He’s keeping you in the present and trust Him for your future.
You can write your reflections in a journal, meditate or simply take a “time out” to collect your thoughts. Whatever you decide to do, be sure it brings about a better understanding of who you know God to be.
– Be intentional about creating a real relationship with Him. Make time each day to deliberately build a profound relationship with God. Take the aforementioned steps along with listening to the preached Word, engage in bible studies or meditate on His goodness to help you grow your relationship with Him.
Choose to take daily actions to bring you closer to God and watch how your walk with Him changes.
The same way you pour energy and effort into building earthly relationships should be the same way you pour energy into your relationship with God. While many of us are often plagued with worry we must remember that in order to alleviate this emotion we must wholly trust in God.
If you’ve ever wondered why trusting in God is the best thing for your life, take a look below at the brief list of reasons God deserves all of our trust.
