Your Question:
can i still trust god?
Answer:
As a pastor of a local evangelical church, I've seen many people struggle with trusting God, especially during difficult times. I believe that trusting God is not about pretending that everything is okay when it's not, but rather about being grounded in Him, even in the midst of uncertainty. As Isaiah 50:10-11 says, "Who among you fears the Lord and has obeyed the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark and has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God." It's a trust that goes beyond our own common sense and confidence in ourselves and others. I've learned that trusting God is not about getting an answer to prayer, but about growing in faith, even when God says no. It's about developing our faith by writing down past successful experiences and connecting with the faith of others. When we trust in God, we can face the future with hope and confidence, knowing that He will give us the grace to handle any disappointments that lie ahead. It's not reckless to trust in God rather than ourselves, but rather a choice to live for Him in the present. For me, trusting in God has been a journey of growth and learning. As I've come to trust in Christ personally, I've realized that God has done amazing things in my life, and I've come to understand that I can trust Him to do in me what I cannot do. I've learned to trust in God, not just during the good times, but also during the hard times. It's a trust that's not based on my own strength or abilities, but on the character and faithfulness of God Himself.
