Train yourself to Trust the Lord

John 16:33
 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Psalm 145:18

 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.

Numbers 6:25

 the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;

Yesterday I read a devotion with the verses above.  It was talking about how the Lord is training us to become an overcomer.  To find Joy in the midst of circumstances that previously would defeat us.  We can transcend trouble based on the fact that Christ has overcome the world.  He has already won the ultimate victory.

Trust is something that is easy to do when things are going smooth however do you trust the Lord when in the mist of challenging circumstances?  When you are trained to trust, it will be easier to do so in the hard times.

What is it in your life that you need to train yourself to trust the Lord with?  For me, it was my career.  For a long time I kept trying to figure it all out on my own, get myself promoted.  I am now training myself to trust the Lord with this area of my life and it’s amazing how he has changed my outlook and helped me to overcome situations that would have previously defeated me. 

I encourage you to work on training yourself to trust the Lord in all circumstances.
