“Struggling with Trusting in God”
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Trust.
I used to struggle with the guilt of feeling like I didn’t trust God. I finally figured out after years of failed attempts at trying to trust God that it wasn’t my lack of trust in God at all. It was my lack of trust in myself. I committed sins because I didn’t trust myself to be able to walk in the grace of God without embarrassing him. After I grew in the Lord and surrendered my whole self to him and began to really study the scriptures I found out that when I began to trust myself, God began to do what he had wanted to do all along, which is to just take care of me, his child.
