Forewarning to everyone that reads this: raw emotion will be exemplified as I take you down this road of "Trust"In the Webster dictionary the definition of trust says: a belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc.
So what is trust to you? Think about it, do you have trust that your car will start? Do you have trust that there will be food for you to eat? Do you have trust that you will be taken care of in all areas of your needs?
When you want something to go your way, and it doesn't. It is so hard to have that trust in God.
God is the Father of our spirits, He is our Loving Heavenly Father, he loves us infinitely. Though when you want something it is hard to realize that God has a perfect plan for each of us.
Throughout the course of the year of 2014, There have been MANY moments of pure heartbreak that I have gone through...
Are they fun? Nope! There was one heartbreak that I was super devastated by, cause reality was I wanted to marry this kid. When it didn't happen I wondered REALLY!?!? I was on YouTube one day and came across a Katy Perry song, yes I know out of all people...... Haha
The name of the song is Firework, the part where she say's "If you only knew what the future holds, After a hurricane comes a rainbow, maybe the reason why all the doors are closed, so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road." That really stuck with me, If we knew what the future held for us would we be stuck on that one guy that took our heart and tore it apart? Take a moment to be sad, and then pick yourself up and move forward!
There have been so many opportunities for me to trust in the Lord regarding relationships, in wonders what he has in store for me. I feel the strength from my faith in God in regards to these sacred opportunities to find "trust."
There was one recent heartbreak that I went through that I had to decide weather or not I was going to end the friendship or be mature enough to allow us to continue to be friends. I honestly was DONE! I was done with the hurt, sadness, and tears. Though through prayer and trust I was mature enough to continue to be his friend.Thank Goodness cause this young man has become a blessing to me in a lot of ways. I can't imagine NOT having him in my life, especially with the wisdom that he possesses.
The knowledge that God is aware of each of us, and knows our desires is such a comfort to me.
Soooo, How do you trust in God?
I will share with you how I put my trust in my Heavenly Father. I strive to Keep the Commandments, Praying constantly to him, Studying the Scriptures, Serving others around me, Loving others unconditionally, Following the promptings of the Holy Ghost, as we follow the promptings of the spirit we learn to trust in those promptings that God gives to us.
A friend told me recently about a time where he was wanting something to happen immediately and it took more time then he expected. As he told me this I was thinking about the "challenge" that I was undergoing at that VERY moment and how I wanted everything to be immediate, I honestly wanted it right then!My patients level was totally gone, it was non-existent in that moment. Though, as my friend was telling me this story. I had a calming assurance of the Spirit to be still. To be calm, and to be patient, that God is overall.
Trusting in the Lord can be very difficult, though as hard as it is to say it is totally WORTH it!
