The other night I was watching Dr. Charles Stanley on
In Touch. His message was on trusting whole heartedly in God. Not where you say to God heres my problem, I give it to you and trust in you to help me deal with it. Then as it gets close to the end of the situation and there seems to be no resolution in site you take it back instead of leaving it with him and trusting him to bring you through. Feeling anxious about something you have turned over and trusted God with only means you don't fully trust him. Your just going through the motions.
David in the Battle of David & Goliath had the truest form of trust in God. He believed with all his heart to the point where he actually seen the situation resolved prior to even facing Goliath. He had told him he would kill him and cut his head off and show it to everyone to prove there was one true God. We need to make sure that we thank him for who he is. The one true God full of grace and mercy that he willing spreads over us and asks us nothing for it in return. He sent his son Jesus to pay for it for us all. We need to start thanking him more and asking him less. Unless of coarse we can ask with a clear heart and are truly willing to follow his guidance. There are several things that are needed according to Dr, Stanley and the Bible.
A Clean Heart, A Clear Mind, A Pure Motive, And True Listening. If you truly believe in him and listen to him while your praying instead of rattling off a list of things for him to take care of like a grocery list. A little more listening might just make your connection with him a little stronger. You may also find out what real truth and trust are all about. Let God build truth into your life as you thank him for his mercifulness and protection.
Let the following verse taken form the NKJV of the Bible be your guide.
Psalms 51:10 be your guide > Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Until next time... Godspeed to you
