Trust. That can be a really hard thing to do. You might trust your parents. Perhaps you know that they’ll always get you a present for Christmas, so you trust that each Christmas morning you’ll wake up, and have a gift from them. Trusting someone you can see can be easy if they’ve proven themselves.
Trusting God though, can be a lot harder. How do you trust someone you can’t see?
One of the best ways to get started trusting God, is to read the Bible. The more you read the word, the more you’ll realize how trustworthy God really is. You begin to see accounts of people who trusted in God and how God saw them through. You can also read books about people of faith in History. Reading their accounts can help you begin to trust God. A third way could be simply by beginning to step out and trust Him in daily ways. Maybe you can trust Him to show you what classes to pick in the fall. Perhaps you can trust Him to speak to your heart as to where you should go to college. Begin trusting Him in small ways and the more you say yes to God, the more you will trust Him.
Commit everything you do to the LORD . Trust him, and he will help you. – Psalm 37:5 (NLT)
Each day, try to trust Him more. As you read your Bible, ask God to show you ways that you can depend on Him and trust Him. As you do that, you’ll see Him continually come through for you.
