A couple days ago I was awake at 2 am wrestling with another issue a friend shared with me. My first response earlier in the day was anxiety and panic. But this morning’s early thoughts brought ideas for sharing that weight of responsibility.
Trust has always been an issue with me. It’s easier to do it myself is my thought, especially over the last 10 years. But sometimes doing it myself is only an illusion of being easier.
“Trust me.” I heard that phrase once again tonight. God’s voice continues to remind me that I am not alone no matter how much it feels like it.
Trust me, with concerns for your friend.
Trust me, with your own health.
Trust me, with your finances.
Trust me, with the house.
Trust me, with things needing to be done.
Trust me, with the trials of this world.
Psalm 62:5–8 (NLT): Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
7 My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
8 O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
Psalm 91:14–15 (NLT): The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
Isaiah 12:2 (NLT): See, God has come to save me.
I will trust in him and not be afraid.
The Lord God is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory.”
