Trust



Have you ever felt like your hopes and dreams are "nothing" to others and to God, that they will
 will never ever be real?

Have you ever felt weary and tired...you have had these hopes and dreams for years and prayed, and prayed, but there fulfillment it not near, and may never happen? And are you tired of the effort everyday life brings?

These are currently my tormenting emotions and thoughts, but it boils down to trust in God does it not?

Do I trust Him with every aspect of my life? Do I trust Him with my hopes, dreams, family worries, marriage, job, money worries, failures, future, ETC.?
Do I trust Him when I realize what I hope and dream for may never happen?  
Not right now, today, at this moment..... but I will........
I MUST!
You MUST!
We MUST!
Proverbs 3:5

Psalm 22:4 – 5: In thee our fathers trusted; they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. To thee they cried, and were saved; in thee they trusted, and were not disappointed.

Isaiah 12:2: "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song,  and he has become my salvation."


Wisdom 3:9: Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.

Sirach 2:6,8,10,13: Trust in him, and he will help you; make your ways straight, and hope in him.  You who fear the Lord, trust in him, and your reward will not fail; Consider the ancient generations and see: who ever trusted in the Lord and was put to shame?  Or who ever persevered in the fear of the Lord and was forsaken? Or who ever called upon him and was overlooked?   Woe to the faint heart, for it has no trust! Therefore it will not be sheltered.
Sirach 11:21: Do not wonder at the works of a sinner, but trust in the Lord and keep at your toil; for it is easy in the sight of the Lord to enrich a poor man quickly and suddenly.

Romans 4:5: And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
Jeremiah 29:11:"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Proverbs 16:9: "A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."
Proverbs 1:33: "But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil."
Proverbs 3:5: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." 
Write one or all of these, (there are many more positive Scripture verses, just look on the Internet) on a piece of paper and read them every day, several times a day.  I will try too!







A "vintage train" ride. Enjoy the sounds of long ago, ( and yes, I did get soot on me). This is a coal powered steam train.
