There was a time in my life that I was so full of fear. Since I had known hurt in a certain area of my life, I started getting worried that the same thing could happen to me going forward. I started trying to figure out how best to avoid those same situations, I looked at people in suspicion that they could hurt me, and I spent many days wasting precious energy worrying about things that didn’t really matter.
I soon learned a new way of living. One that makes me feel not so worried that I could possibly be jumping off a cliff. ๐ I learned that I couldn’t control my life anyways. I could improve myself and get better, but God really was capable of handling my life. And there is no one else that I trust more than him, not even my own self. I know that he knows how to love me better than anyone else in my life.
As soon as I started trying to learn to give the God things to him, It allowed me to start working on myself and learn to live in more of a peace-state. Learning to cast my care on him each day allows me to invite him into the situation to put my trust in him, while I can do the things I am able to do such as loving others in spite of my hurt, putting up necessary boundaries and putting my trust in God when I can’t even do those things. ๐
Take a moment to voice to God that you trust him with your unknown future. It may seem scary and you may be worried that what has happened to you in the past will happen again. Voice that you believe in his ability to take care of you and to lead you.
