Victoria on #Trust

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." - Proverbs ch. 3 v. 5-6

During small group at Varsity last week, we discussed trust with such questions as: What words come to mind when you think of trust? What does trust mean to you? How can we learn to trust God?

I came to the following conclusions:

• Sometimes we as humans find it hard to trust God.
• How can we doubt God when He's perfect and has all the answers?
• We know that we can communicate with God by praying and reading the Bible. The more we connect with God, the easier it is for us to trust in Him.
• Unlike our family, friends and boyfriends/girlfriends, God will never leave us or forsake us.
• Giving everything to God can be tough. Therefore, we often attempt to take control of our own problems without His help.
• God's there through the pain and suffering, and God's there through the joy and celebration.

Everyone also shared a time in which they had to rely on God for strength. I said:

• When I took Life Hurts God Heals I realized I had to trust God with my hurts, habits and hang-ups. I couldn't battle OCD and PTSD alone.

Please comment on my post with how your group related trust to their lives!

God bless,
