Am I trusting?

When we feel overwhelmed with the injustices of life or when it seems like nothing is going right and hasn’t for a very long time, our tendency is to want to give up. Why should we continue to do good when everyone around appears to be indifferent to our pain?

The Holy Spirit reminds us, “Let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator” (1 Peter 4:19). He also directs us to cast all the things that worry us or cause us stress onto him because he cares for us as individuals (1 Peter 5:6).

Trusting God will not come easily or naturally. It is a decision to trust God even when we cannot understand.
