Okay, here is my sharing about trusting God based on my real life experience:
So, I started this whole journey a few months back. I was at a real crossroads, you know? Everything in my life felt like it was up in the air, and I had zero control. My job was on the line, my relationship was rocky, and my savings were, well, let’s just say they were not looking too good. I was freaking out, to be honest. I didn’t know which way was up.
Then, I remembered something my grandma used to say: “When you don’t know what to do, just give it to God.” I wasn’t super religious or anything, but I was desperate. So, I started praying. I mean, really praying. Not just the usual “God, please help me” kind of stuff, but more like long talks where I poured out all my fears, my hopes, my everything. It felt weird at first, but it was also kind of comforting.
Little Changes
- I started noticing little things. Like, I got a call back for a job interview I thought I totally bombed. And my girlfriend and I, we started talking more openly, working through our issues.
- It wasn’t like all my problems magically disappeared, but I felt this sense of peace I hadn’t felt in a long time. Like, no matter what happened, it would be okay.
- I kept praying, kept talking to God. I also started reading the Bible, just to see what all the fuss was about. Some of it was confusing, but some of it really spoke to me.
- There was this one verse that really stuck with me: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” It was like a lightbulb went off in my head.
What I Realized
I realized I had been trying to control everything myself, and it was exhausting. Trusting God didn’t mean I wouldn’t do anything, but it meant letting go of the need to have all the answers, to know exactly how things would turn out. It was about faith, about believing that there was a bigger plan, even if I couldn’t see it yet.
And you know what? Things did start to get better. I got a new job, a way better one than I had before. My relationship with my girlfriend got stronger, and we ended up getting engaged. My finances were still tight, but I wasn’t as worried about it anymore. I knew I would be okay. This whole experience taught me the power of trust, of letting go, and letting God. It wasn’t always easy, but it was definitely worth it. And that’s my story, plain and simple.
