This was one of my of my weekly writing prompts was "The area where I need to put more trust in God is......"
The area where I need to put more trust in God is, trusting him with my future. I often stress so much about the future and with the negative things in life. I worry about what will happen, will I be happy? Will I make the smart choices? Will I pass my test? I know a lot of it comes down to me putting in the hard work, but I have always had a hard time putting all my trust God with my future. My Pastor recently spoke about this topic. He said if God showed us the whole road ahead of us we wouldn't even take the first step. That the road in front of us is full with the good and bad and a lot of us don't want the bad, sometimes we have to experience the bad before the good. He said sometimes the best thing is looking a few steps ahead and knowing if we have God in our hearts and trusting him he will always lead us in the right direction. Even though sometimes you may think why am I trusting God? I just lost my job, I got into a car accident, I didn't get into the college I wanted, my boyfriend is cheating on me, why would a loving God want me to go through all this pain, hurting and stress? As you may have heard God will never give you anything you can't handle and that statement is 100% true. In life, we go through experiences, good and bad, to gain and grow as humans. You aren't the same person you were 5 years ago because you have probably had a lot of negative things that helped you grow but also a lot of positive ones. When you are going through a negative experience we all don't think of the positive outcomes, we just think of the bad and why this is happening to us. So, for example, you and your boyfriend, who was your first love broke up and your heartbroken, but the positives are he might not have been right for you and now you can find your "soulmate", you can focus on you and that you learned from that relationship maybe what you are looking for in a guy and that God must have another plan for you. I am learning to see the positive in all my negative experiences because that's how God sees them. He sees us learning from our mistakes and experiences and growing to become more like he wants us to be. So I'm so humbled to be able to trust God with my life more and more each day.
