Reliant Trust

Reliant Trust

It’s one thing to believe God can do something. It’s quite another to put yourself in a position of reliant trust. This is the distinction between intellectual belief and wholehearted faith.

Linda Dillow

Develop the habit of trusting Me with your whole heart. You say you trust Me, but when you’re faced with difficulties and stress-producing situations, you tend to rely on yourself first. You’ve become fatigued and discouraged with trying to manage the people and problems that surround you. Intellectually, you believe I’m trustworthy, but you still live as if everything depended upon you. You are wearing yourself out—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Begin a new way of living. Verbalize your trust in Me to handle the challenges you face. Say “Lord, You are my Strength and my Shield. You see how weary I am. I want You to help me with the details of everything I’ve been handling on my own. I am choosing to loosen my grip on them. Help me, Lord, because it’s easy for me to slip back into old patterns. As I choose to trust You, fill my heart with joy. The thought of relinquishing my control and trusting You brings such peace that I want to burst out in a song of thanks.” My precious one, keep practicing wholehearted faith, and leave the results to Me.

The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Psalm 28:7
