Do You Trust Me?

What if God asked you, "Do you trust Me?" Really trust. Have confidence in Him, full assurance in Him and belief in Him? Do you believe what He says? Do you believe what He promises? Do you believe with your heart more than your mind?

When we are put to the test do we trust? It seems people often doubt the most when tested the most. When we need the greatest trust in God, unbelief can blind and cripple faith.

So how do we build our trust, grow our faith and retain our confidence in God? I offer a few simple suggestions.

1. We must grow close to God. We trust people we are closest to if we believe they love us.
2. We must know what God says and promises to us to bolster our faith. That means reading His word and memorizing His word.
3. We learn to trust one step of faith at a time. That means one prayer at a time and one challenge at a time.
4. We must persevere in prayer and not lose heart. Don't give up. Keep pounding the doors of Heaven.
5. We have to learn to patiently wait on God's timing in answering prayers. God is never late but always on time.

These few simple steps can help us develop a greater trust in God no matter what challenges we face. He is bigger than all our challenges. May our faith grow as we grow closer to the God who loves us and works on our behalf.
