132 || [SOLO] Finding New Ways to Trust God || Merritt Onsa

Send us Fan Mail What is the biggest thing you’ve ever had to trust God for? It seems that the longer we wait for something that we desire but the result of which remains unknown, the more difficult it is to believe the answer will come or that it will be the answer we’ve been praying for. I’ve met listeners who struggle with trusting God for the deepest desires of their hearts and that extends to their dreams as well. When something feels “too big” or “too scary” to tackle on their own and they desperately need God to step in, but He doesn’t, it can feel like broken trust. Or, at the very least, they wonder if the absence of an answer is an indicator of His trustworthiness. I think most of us want to trust God in the big and the little things. But I wonder if part of our inability to trust God has more to do with not trusting Him in the worst-case-scenario of what might happen. And in part it might be that we are holding too tightly to what we desire instead of listening for what He wants. This episode is all about the three connected practices that can help you combat the mindsets of fear and doubt and, instead, go to battle against the evil one with the truth and power of God’s Word. And as you begin to actively engage your faith muscles (even those as tiny as a mustard seed), you will see a growing trust for God, His goodness and faithfulness, within you. At least that is my prayer for you!
