SHOW NOTES/REFERENCES: Trusting God in the ups & downs
In what areas do we still struggle to trust God? Anxiety & worry —> indicates a lack of trust in God or fear of loss/change. What is the root cause of our fear or worry? Gotquestions.org: The main reason we should trust God is that He is worthy of our trust. Unlike men, He never lies and never fails to fulfill His promises. “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” (Numbers 23:19; Psalm 89:34). We can learn to trust God as we see him working in our lives & the lives of others around us. When has God been faithful in our lives previously? Why do we doubt him moving forward? Gotquestions.org: Should we trust in ourselves or in others who are sinful, unpredictable, unreliable, have limited wisdom, and frequently make bad choices and decisions swayed by emotion? Or do we trust in the all-wise, all-knowing, all-powerful, gracious, merciful, loving God who has good intentions for us? The choice should be obvious, but we fail to trust God because we don’t know Him. As already stated, we cannot hope to trust in someone who is essentially a stranger to us, but that is easily remedied. God has not made Himself difficult to find or know. All we need to know about God, He has graciously made available to us in the Bible, His holy Word to His people. To know God is to trust Him. Reflect on his sovereignty
Verses:
“All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: ‘What have you done?’” Daniel 4:35 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 “For this is the will of God, by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:15–16 “All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28

“Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this, he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.” Romans 4:20-21 NLT
In what areas of my life do I trust God the least? Do I truly believe the Lord is all I need? Do I believe He will provide everything I need?
There are a ton of references in the Bible about not worrying or being fearful. Why?
Because God knows our tendency as humans is to doubt. We have to remember that God knows the future, He holds it in his hands.
“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6
God knows the desires of our hearts. But we must be reminded that He knows what’s best for us.
Faith & trust go hand in hand. “Our trust is not foolish, for our God is both faithful and good.” -Grand Canyon Univ Blog
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” – Proverbs 3:5-6
