Psalms 56:3-4 ESV
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?”

Trust is a feeling that somebody or something can be relied upon, or will turn out to be good. It is the feeling of being sure about something, even if it cannot be proved. Often times we find it difficult to trust people. We don’t always know if they are trust-worthy?

We find it difficult to trust people’s words, are they speaking the truth or just telling us what we want to hear? We doubt their motivations and actions; will they stick with us through the tough times?

Non-trust makes us insecure, doubting, and apprehensive. We want to trust someone, but we are afraid of being let down, hurt or alone. Trust with people is built on history or the person’s track record with the things that we have trusted them with.

With God, we can tell someone to trust God but trust with God is built on experiences as well. We think about the time we prayed about a situation, and we were believing it was God’s will, only to be disappointed, but hasn’t He given a million things we have asked Him for?

I can testify to you that God has never failed me, not one time. Times when I have prayed and believed but did not receive what I wanted, I accepted the no or not right now answer to my prayers. I have millions, of prayers that I can look back on where God moved in a mighty way or in just a small way, with just what I needed.

I don’t always get everything I ask for but that’s not why I’m in a relationship with God, I’m in a relationship with God to do what He wants me to do, to feel wanted, needed and loved. I’m in a relationship with God because He can be trusted in any situation and every situation. He has never failed me. But can He trust me?

Prayer:
Father, trust is becoming more and more allusive with people, but help me to keep trying, they deserve that. I put my trust in You, You have never failed me. You are the same, yesterday, today and forever!
