Trust Him

"5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Proverbs 3:5-6

 

This is one of the 24 scriptures that my mission President has asked us to memorize. For the next 24 posts, I will go through those scriptures and discuss their importance to me. I picked this one to start with because it has been one of the most common answers to my prayers. When I am sad and wondering why I am in a certain situation, I get the answer, "Trust me. You will grow from this." When I am having the time of my life and I'm not sure why I'm so happy, I get the answer, "Trust me! I know you!" This scripture could answer just about any prayer I offer to my Heavenly Father.



Take His hand and follow Him. Trust Him with everything you've got.

He knows me so exactly, and I have come to realize that nobody knows what I need better than He does. He knows what I need to experience in order to grow into the person that both my Heavenly Father and I want me to become; He knows what I need in order to feel comforted; He knows what I need every hour of every day. Just like "I Need Thee Every Hour," He knows exactly WHAT I need every hour. As my Father, He cares for me, disciplines and teaches me, and shows me compassion and love at all times. Do not attempt to understand the mysteries of God on your own, rather acknowledge Him and that He knows what He is doing. TRUST Him. He loves you and trusts you to do your best, and to learn and grow here in this life. We should all do our best to do the same for our Heavenly Father by loving, trusting, and relying on Him in return.
