The Trust Test

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart…in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." – Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust releases a tremendous power within us. A trusting person is a persistent person. A person who doesn't trust is a skeptic. And skeptics tend to give up quickly.

When you begin to trust God, you discover real power. You come to the realization that God believes in you and trusts you and recognizing this you begin to trust yourself. That's when God begins to release real power in your life—the power of self-confidence, the power to trust others, and the power to trust the ideas God gives you. When someone trusts you, they help bring out the best in you. God trusts you because you are his child; you are created in his image.

Next time you're short on trust, repeat this positive affirmation: "I am God's child. I trust him and he trusts me."
