Trust
That has always been a word that for some reason has been very difficult for me to put into action.
That has always been a word that for some reason has been very difficult for me to put into action.
But why???
I was talking to my dear hubby about this just the other day. I keep looking back at family history, and I see things like divorce, extra marital affairs, abuse and the list goes on. Many of that I was directly affected by.
My grandfather had an affair that ended up with a “wife and two kids” in another town while he was still married to my grandmother.
My grandmother left that marriage and entered into many different marriages/relationships that contained abuse and ultimately ended in divorce. (Until she met my Pappy that is!)
Both of my parent’s siblings have all been divorced (at least once). Some of them were abusive to their spouses.
My parents were divorced, remarried, separated and now working on getting back together.
Male cousins sexually abused female cousins in ALL generations.
Hmmmm…….now I see where the issue lies. A lot of "junk in my trunk". Well, my dear blogging friends, it is now time to “dejunk” that trunk. All this junk has done nothing but leave me feeling insecure and down right paranoid at times. It has caused many “problems” with the hubby and I, and many times has almost caused me to loose a friend or two.
Here are just a couple verses that I am going to start living by:
Psalm 37:3-4 “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Psalm 56:4 “In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?”
Proverbs 29:25 “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
Do any of you have special verses dealing with trust that you live by?

Good post Angie, praying for you. Liz
One of my favorites is Prov. 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."
I also like Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." The Amplified, NKJV, and NLT are good versions of this verse too.
I like how you took all the history and compiled it - that helps it make so much sense! Can you crawl into my brain and do the same thing for me?! ;P
Girl, can you tell baby #2 has rocked my world a bit?? I'm SOOO behind!! I finally got a post up this week and am checking in on all my buds this afternoon. Thanks for that award below!!! Maybe I'll get to post that before long. (I'm so pathetic!) =) Anyway, your blog is awesome, and I always leave it feeling like I've learned something about my relationship with God. We're al blessed to have such great blogging friends! Thank you for what you share!
My fave verse of all time is Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." I know if I hold strong to my relationship with Him, He has wonderful plans for me. They may not always be easy, but He will guide my steps and I can walk knowing that I trust the ONE who created me and loves me and sent His Son to die for me. If we trust HIM, we can walk without fear in all the days He created for us and love like there's no tomorrow.
Have a good week!! Keep up the awesome blogging!!!
