How can I trust God more, even when I feel like I can’t? Lately, this question has been repeating its little self in my head and has been driving me crazy.
As a Believer, I know I am supposed to trust God in any and all circumstances. I know I’m supposed to surrender my worries and doubts to Him. I know I’m supposed to believe that some way or another the thing that I need the most or the thing that I’m praying for, He will work out. I know I’m supposed to know all of these things.
But, amid all of my rationalizations for my wanting to know the how, the when, the why, and the what… that’s when I start to worry. That’s when I start to panic. That’s when I think to myself, “Why can’t I just choose to believe – minus all of the questions?
Well…
Let me admit to you and the rest of the world that darn it, it’s hard.
It’s really hard… to trust, to believe, to surrender to something greater than you. It’s really, really, really hard. I’ve been having a hard time lately with this. But then, something happened. Right when I really internalizing my doubts, I came across the image above on Pinterest. It was simple, yet profound. It stopped my heart. It was like God was reminding me that He’s got my back. It read:
“I’m fighting for you.” – God
The funny thing about this image is, it’s black. Out of all the colors it could have been, its creator chose black. Black. It’s like the darkness we feel when we are trying to find our way in life, trying to believe. Then, light appears. God appears. He speaks about how we have no need to worry because He is fighting our battle and bringing a solution to what it is that we are facing. He is working it all out, bringing us to the right people, to the right place, at the right time.
I wondered, if half of the time while we are waiting on God, God is actually waiting on us. Waiting on us to trust Him and to believe that He can do what we are asking, which many times can seem impossible in reality to us. I also wondered, if many times, He waits on us to stop sulking in our doubts, questions, and limits that we place on Him.
After seeing the image, a revelation hit me: The reason we get ourselves in such a panic of doubt and fear is because we are so caught up in the details. Instead of praying and believing God will work it out, we want to know “the how” and all details. But honestly, “the how” is none of our business. Trying to figure out “the how” only blocks what God can do in our lives. He may know of a better solution that we may have imagined.
His thoughts and His ways much higher than ours, so much higher than we can even fathom what He sees, what He has planned, and more. Though we don’t see a way or know exactly the details of “the how” that doesn’t mean that God isn’t fighting our battle or isn’t going to provide us with what we need. I’m realizing this myself…
Let this article be a reminder to you to trust God and to know that amid everything, He can be your everything. He is for you more than you’ll ever know. Choose to simply trust Him. He will never fail you.
