Cultivating Trust
A child begins to learn about “trust” at a very young age–from the moment a little girl holds her daddy’s hand crossing the street–she knows he’s protecting her by the tight grip of his hand. When a father tells his son to jump from a tree–that little boy learned “trust” from his father’s arms. And when his daughter is brokenhearted because her boyfriend broke up with her –it was her father’s warm embrace that she trusted for comfort. Trust is “learned” AND “earned.”  Had the little boy fallen because his father failed to catch him–all trust would have been destroyed. That father earned his son's trust when he wrapped him in his arms of love! So it is with our heavenly Father. God has “earned” your trust! You can share the details of your life with Him and know He not only listens–but He cares! You can trust that He will answer every prayer with your best interest in mind. Because you know God has your back–you can awaken each morning with a conscious appreciation for life, thanking Him for His many blessings. The Bible says in Psalm 34:8, “O taste and see that the Lord is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him.” Spend time talking to God and with every answered prayer–trust grows. When the storms of life come–and yes, they will come–you’ll be more equipped to handle whatever comes your way. Complete faith in God, allows you to turn to Him without fear, and cry out, “Father, help me! Hold me in your arms of love!”  And because you have cultivated a deep and abiding trust in God, you can live each day with  absolute confidence you are holding His hand.

Bible Texts:
Psalm 2:12 NKJV - Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV - Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 

Psalm 9:10 NKJV - And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. 

Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. 

Psalm 28:7 NKJV - The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
