Trust in God - How to have trust when things go wrong

How to Have Trust in God

I will be the first to admit that it can be really hard to keep your Faith at times. Especially when you want something so badly but the opposite of what you are praying for is happening. We think to ourselves, why is this happening? Why is it that I am praying day and night for this to turn the other way and things just seem to be getting worse? I have had many of those conversations with God myself.

But the truth is, he is not ignoring us, he is working for us. He is doing things that we have no idea he is doing. We have to remember that God has our best interest at heart. He does not want us to struggle, but sometimes it is necessary in order for us to learn the things we need to learn. For change to occur. We might not realize how much a bad situation will benefit us until after it is over. At that time, we will then be able to see what that situation did for us in a positive way.

Right now I am dealing with a very difficult situation. In simple words, it SUCKS. Big time. But I know that there is a reason for this. I know that we will get past this and learn so many wonderful things. I will tell you one thing, because of this situation, the person who this is regarding is becoming closer and closer to God. His Faith is growing daily and his "wanting" to learn about God has become extremely strong. If it were not for this situation, I do not believe it would have turned out that way.

And the thing is, prior to this incident happening, I would pray for this person. I would pray that he would get to know God and want to learn more about him. I prayed that prayer for a very long time. Never in a million years did I think that this was the way he was going to come to God, but my prayer was answered. And because my prayer was answered I know (no matter how bad things are at the moment) that the future is going to be bright and wonderful. That this is all happening for a specific reason.

I have learned to trust God in a way I never thought I could trust anyone. The way I look at thing is so different now than it was years ago. I have turned into a much stronger person over the past years and I know it is because I have created a relationship with God.

I just want you to know that even if your situation is bad, even if you do not understand why thing are happening the way they are, keep praying. God will hear your prayers. Have confidence and Faith and know that you will get out of the darkness and into the light when your time comes. When you are feeling scared or down find words of inspiration to read. Do not let others steal your joy. I know other people have a way of bringing us down, but by you not giving into that, and by you showing your Faith, you will prove to other people that holding on and receiving the impossible is very possible.

Here is one of my favorite bible verses about faith:

Matthew 17:20

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. "

When I read that I say to myself, Faith as small as a mustard seed. I have so much more Faith than that. If I can move a mountain with such small Faith, imagine what can happen with a whole bunch of Faith!!

Having Faith

Post 1 on creating your relationship with God

I will back track a little from my previous post. I spoke about seeking God when you were feeling down and felt like you had no where else to turn. It is true, most of us seek God when we fell as though we will not make it. When the pressure is so high that we cannot take it anymore. You will realize that at first, you wanted to seek God for selfish reasons. I will admit it. I wanted prayers answered. I wanted what I wanted to happen and I though that finding God was the only way that could happen. Do not worry if you feel like that at first. I believe that is what God wants us to do. We are kind of being selfish. We do come to him because we want and or need something. You will find that that is what God wants in the end. He wants us to be able to come to him for what we need. He wants us to be totally dependent on him. He is there to be our rock and our supporter. But you will find as you grow into your journey that not only will you look to him for all of your problems and your needs, but you will get stronger and stronger in your ability to handle situations that do not turn out the exact way you have hoped for. You will learn that your way is not always the best way. You might think that it is right now, but there are plans that God has for us that we know nothing about. We cannot even imagine what they are. We have to learn to trust that he has our best interest. The impossible is so possible. Having faith is the key. The more you do not see something happening in your life that you want, the more you should pray about it. Do not give up on your dream. That is how the miracles occur. Because your dream no matter how big or small could turn into something more amazing than you ever dreamed of.

Here is an article that I wrote regarding faith.

This is how the bible defines faith


Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.


Do not get me wrong, there are going to be plenty of times when it will be impossible to keep faith, well at least for a little while. You might fight with yourself and try to talk yourself out of beveling that your prayer could be answered, but if what you are hoping for is a true desire then no matter what, it will find its way back to your heart and you will pick yourself up and start having faith once again. (In another post I will discuss your desires and what role they play in our lives).  


How you get to the point of strong faith is really your own journey. You will go through many many different things while you create your relationship with God.
For me I experimented with so many different things. I had doubts and I had moments of excitement. It has been a ride!


In the beginning, I tried contacting angels, I tried reading all I could on the internet, I just wanted to know the right way to talk to God. What I found is that there is no right way. There is only your way. As I discussed in my last post, there are so many different opinions out there, contradicting  options from people of the "same" religion that I was getting extremely confused. I was always questioning myself. I was not sure if God would hear me if I said the wrong words. If I prayed at the wrong time. Do what feels right to you. Your biggest indication of your relationship with God is what you feel in your heart. If it feels right, I believe that it is right. 


There will be times as you grow deeper into your spirituality that you will feel as thought God is not listening or that he has left you. It still happens to me at times. As a matter of fact the past couple of days there were a few moments when I said, why are you not here? But then I remembered that so many times before, the silence was a hint that something wonderful was going to happen. He is working for me you know! Where my eyes cannot see wonderful things are happening and I cannot wait.
