Your Question:
Can I even trust my own instincts when I'm so lost and scared?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling lost and scared. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with fear and uncertainty. But I've also learned that our instincts can be unreliable, and that's especially true when we're not trusting in God. When we put our trust in people or things we can see, we're setting ourselves up for disappointment and fear. But when we trust in Jesus, we can find peace and confidence, even in the midst of uncertainty. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that I've often put my trust in things that are temporary and fleeting. I've trusted in my own abilities, my family's security, and even my own sense of well-being. But when those things fail me, I'm left feeling lost and scared. It's only when I turn to God and trust in His promises that I find true peace and confidence. And I've learned that it's okay to be scared, but it's not okay to let fear rule my life. For me, trusting in God means being willing to take a step of faith, even when I don't feel like it. It means being honest with myself about my fears and doubts, and seeking God's guidance and wisdom. It means being willing to trust in His love and faithfulness, even when I don't understand what's happening. And it means being confident that God is with me, even when I'm scared or uncertain. As the psalmist says, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
