Trust

I don't have much to say today, because this blog is supposed to be about being encouraging to the women around me and I am struggling with being encouraged myself!  It's one of those days that my son is fussy, my husband works until almost midnight, it's hot outside, the bills aren't paid (and I don't know where the money is going to come from to pay them) and everything seems to be going wrong...including the bed breaking. It's like one thing after another. It's one of those days that I feel like going to my pillow, digging my head into its feathery deepness and crying.

But it's also one of those days that I am challenging myself to go find scriptures about faith and trust and to keep looking to the One who really does provide. It's just such a stretch for me today and it seems like everything is about to go under! Does anyone else find it hard to keep trusting Him, even though you know, know, KNOW that He will take care of you?

1 Peter 5:7
Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.

Philippians 4:6-7
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ.

Isaiah 26:3-4
He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in Him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord! Trust in the Lord always, for in the Lord, Jehovah, is your everlasting strength.

Psalms 37:7
Rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him to act. Don't be envious of evil men who prosper.

John 14:18
No, I will not abandon you or leave you as orphans in the storm - I will come to you.

Habakkuk 2:1, 3
I will climb my watchtower now, and wait to see what answer God will give to my complaint.
But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!

I hope these scriptures encourage you, the same they did me. 

Blessings~
