Trusting Him

For the first time in a while, I'm actually happy. I'm content with my friends and my school work and just everything in general, and I really never thought that I would say lately.

Why the sudden happiness?

I've started to stop worrying and to truly trust Jesus. 

Over the past few weeks, I've been really digging into what it means to seek Jesus in every situation and to trust him and that has made all the difference. 

All my life I've heard "talk to Jesus like he's your best friend," but I've never truly tried it until recently and it changes everything. Every little thing, every big thing, I tell Him and I seek Him in it and my world has changed. There's so much more peace in Him than I could ever find on my own. Even in the bad, I now see good and that's all because I know He is protecting me and looking out for me. 

"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name

He will call on me and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him

and show him my salvation."

-Psalm 91:14-16, NIV

We are under God's constant care, and He answers us when we call on Him! He will deliver us in every situation and all we have to do is trust him. We have to turn our attention toward our Savior and away from the momentary problems. Worrying will do no good. 

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

-Matthew 6:33-34, HCSB

Trust Him. It makes all the difference.
