Trusting in God ~Promise

Hello everyone! Today, I'm thinking it's time I do a post on something that doesn't come easily to me...Trust. Some people trust easily, and I really admire that, but it's not so easy for all of us. Some find it hard to know some body's got their back, or believe in things unseen or things we can't feel. I know, as a very feeling person, that sometimes I question God because I can't feel him near me, but I've come to learn that just because you can't feel him, doesn't mean he's not there. In my life, I've gone through lots of trials, like anybody else. One big one for me was when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was 10 at the time, and I couldn't understand why this happened to me. God knew how deathly afraid I was of needles! Why would he allow this to happen to me? At the time when you're going through a trial, you sometimes can't see the big picture, and that's exactly what Satan wants. He wants you to scream and yell at God and limit your view to what's happening right now. Don't believe that lie. I promise you that things will get better and you will arise out of this more humble, strong and reliant on God. As a Christian, those things are important. Just because you deal with trials doesn't mean you walk alone. You never walk alone. This is where trust and faith come in. It's hard to trust that this horrible, painful trial will do anything good to you. Sometimes you just want to give up. I've been there too. Here comes the part that can make or break this experience. You decide. You can decide to trust God, or you can try to keep controlling your life. If you let God work with you, he will start to make you into the person he made you to be. But it's your choice. A hard one, yes. The road may be hard and painful and it won't be easy, but if you choose to trust in God, you will find a sweet release in him. So, why not give trusting in God a try? You decide.

Lyrics to Never Gone by Colton Dixon from Google Play.

 

Lights off, a shot in the dark
We get lost when we're playing a part
We lay blame like we know what's best
It's a shame
We break when we fall too hard
Lose faith when we're torn apart
Don't say you're too far gone
It's a shame
It's a shame

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone
I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone
There's space between our lives
Hard to face, but I know we try
To revive, bring it back to life
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone
I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
OK, I was never gone

I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
I said I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
And Jesus never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
Could seize the evil and the darkness
Now you know you're not alone

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone
