Trust in Me

Gently let all else fall to the side.  Gently come and enter My heart.  Gently and humbly listen to My Words.  Words of freedom, words of love, words of encounter, words of silence, yet words to be shouted to the ends of the earth.  Let your heart cry aloud these words.  Let them be so profound that you can’t keep them within.

Try not to race ahead of Me with your thoughts but be very willing and obedient to wait on each word.  I know sometimes you  don’t know what the next word will be that I am going to give you.  Isn’t this Trust?

Isn’t that profound Trust?  You don’t know but you still are willing to put pen to paper, to step forward not knowing.  That is what Trust is all about.  If you knew what was going to happen in the next moment, there would be no need at all to Trust.

Step aside from your mind and put on My mind.  I know all,  I delegate all, I am in All, I sit, stand, abide in all.

This Trust is such a God-send because then you can slow down.  Slow down your body and mind because you do not have to be concerned about the next instance.  Relax in My Trust.  Free yourself from you by Trusting in Me.

Anchor yourself in My Trust.

Reach out and Trust – not touch, but Trust.

Fall on your sword of self-importance and self-solving.  Fall into My Trust.  It is fathomless. 

Give nothing up, but rather give it ALL over to Me.  Trust that I will make all work for good.  Release yourself from the bonds of distrust which have been nurtured through human experience and put yourself into My trusting arms.

I have never, will never, let you down.  Sure the world around you may be seeming to crumble but My trust is on an awesome foundation – one that will never fade or erode.

My promises are always complete and good.  My faithfulness to My beloved ones is never to be doubted.  It may not seem like the answer that the world would provide, but it is the only answer necessary for your eternal soul.

Take heart.  Take My heart.  Take it into your heart.  Let My heart take in your heart so our hearts become one with no distinguishing.  Melt into Me as I so desire to melt into you. 

Let your trust be a springboard to My heart.  Do not let go of Trust.  Nurture it.  Nourish it.  Start out small if you must but do start. Trust that I open your eyes each day.  Trust that I cause the sun to rise and the rain to fall.

Take things that seem so simple and almost silly and start to express your trust in Me about them.  Say: “I trust Lord that my ears will produce earwax.”  Now this does sound foolish, eh?  Yet we sometimes overlook occasions of expressing our trust to Me in little, little ways.

Why is it silly to trust Me in small things?  I am in charge of ALL things, so don’t hesitate to Trust Me in all things and say out loud, to Me.  Let your heart that yearns to trust express it all to Me.  Don’t wait for major moments to try on trust.  Use it often.  Then the heart and head will be more ready in tough times to place all trust in Me.

It is like saying “I am going to hit a homerun” without going out there every day and hitting a ball.  Your head and heart have to come to the knowledge, thru practice, that since you can hit a ball, it is very likely as you practice more and more that you will hit a homerun.  Of  course if you have never held a bat in your hand and hit a ball, your heart and head will contradict your high faluting plans.

So practice daily trusting in Me in all things.

And remember that Trust and Thanks go hand in hand.  When you have trusted it ALL to Me, give thanks for it all.

Like “Lord I trust that the grass will grow even without me seeing it progress and I thank you for being in charge of Your creation.”

Let yourself Trust Me in all things and Thank Me for the gift of Trust.

And your trust eventually will go much deeper than your immediate human needs and touch the needs of your soul.

You may say: “Lord I trust you will get me there safely.”  Yet something might happen – an accident or whatever.  Do you run back to Me and throw My trust in My face saying that I didn’t come through for you?

Or does your soul slowly realize that the ‘there’ you prayed about may have a more circuitous route in My heart?

What really is the ‘there’ we’re seeking – some earthly destination or ultimately our heavenly home?

In our prayer of trust do we not first and foremost have to Trust in Him for all things?

Perhaps our prayer can be:  “Lord I trust that You are with me at all times and in all  ways and Your heart will work only for my good.”

You see we give God ‘directions’ when we tell him to ‘get us there safely.’

Is not the deeper prayer to place ourselves in His hands trusting totally in His plan for our lives?

In the first instance, I do not want any harm coming to me or my loved ones.

In the second instance, I throw all caution (control) to the wind and let Him be totally in charge and call the shots.

So in the second case, I trust (blindly) that You are with me at all times and that Your will for me and my welfare are more supreme than my will for my welfare.

So instead of:

“I trust Lord that you will get me, us, there safely.”

Perhaps:

“I trust You are with me all ways.”

Talk about unbinding Christ from our wants and allowing His Will for me to reign supreme. 

Lord I trust in You.  Help me to trust even deeper in You.

Quiet, still, trust, be thankful,  kind, not obstinate, open to My word, grateful, joyful, laugh out loud because you are surrounded by My love which should make you giddy.
