So how do you get over not trusting a perfect heavenly
Daddy? Great question. For me, this is a constant work in progress; but from what I have
gleaned with my time with Him so far, it is much the same as with any transformation of the heart.
- Repent and share your trust issue with Him. You aren’t telling Him something He doesn’t already know…that part is for your benefit.
- Spend time with Him. Delight yourself in the Lord. This is a discipline that reaps hope and, in time, trust.
- Take your time in His Word. His promises are true even if you don’t see the fruit just yet.
- Remind yourself of all His blessings and seasons you have seen and tasted His goodness and safety. It’s interesting that we have a short memory when it comes to His blessings, yet our memory of lost dreams is vivid and unhindered.
- Remind yourself that what you perceive as lost dreams and hopes, are really the foundation for the future dreams and hopes. Think of Joseph in Genesis 37.
I wish I could say I instantly started handing the Lord my
football with hand-clapping glee. That is my goal. As of this writing, I hand
Him my football with obedience, humility, and yes, a watchful eye.
There is grace for human frailty, hallelujah!
“But
as for me, I (choose to) trust in you, Oh Lord.
I
say, You are my God. My times (footballs) are in your hand.” Ps. 31:14-15
