“It is better to trust in The Lord than to put confidence in man”…Psalm 118:8

The ability to trust requires an emotional connection. Without an emotional connection, trust is hard to build and develop in any situation or relationship. Love is one of the emotional connections that can lead us to trust. I remember when I first fell in love with my husband; it was the love connection that we had that led me to trust in him to be my husband, the father of my children and the leader of our home.

Our trust in The Lord requires the same love connection. In order for us to trust God, we have to have that “emotional love connection” with Him. In the Matthew 22:37(KJ) it states, “…Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”. God already had an emotional love connection with us by way of His Son, Jesus. This can be seen in John 3:16 (KJ), “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…..” Once the love connection has been made, trust can flourish in any situation. We can trust God in all His promises, to handle all our situations, good or bad, and for Him to be there for us whenever we need Him.

If you are having difficulty trusting God, then pray this prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to learn to trust in You for everything regarding my life. I want to have a deep love connection with You so that I can build up my trust in You. In Jesus Name, I ask and pray. Amen.
