Unwavering Trust In God - 10-Day Devotional預覽

You Don't Have to Feel Like It!

How can I know if I am operating in trust? 

The Lord showed me that I should turn it around and look at it from the opposite direction. If I found myself wallowing in feelings of disappointment, then I would know that I was not operating in trust. 

We try to make trust an emotion. We struggle and strive to try to muster up feelings of trust, yet that is not true trust! Trust, like faith, starts by simply making an irrevocable decision to believe God's Word, then reclining in His arms and leaving the rest to Him.

Saying something similar to this to the Lord — from your heart — when you really mean it, will change your life. 

I'm trusting You and I don't care what the situation looks like. Even if it looks like You didn't come through, or if there are negative reports, and no matter what my emotions are dictating; I have made up my mind that from this day forth I am going to steadfastly trust what You have said. When feelings of disappointment try to crowd in, I will make that my warning signal, and I will stop and renew my choice to trust in You. Then Lord, the rest is up to You. 

Pray Out Loud:

Lord, I want to be obedient to do what You tell me to do. Help me not to be moved by my feelings, but to make Your Word my final authority. I want to develop unwavering trust and want to rest in You. In Jesus’ name. Amen
