Lately I've been feeling really worried about a procedure I have coming up. In January it seemed like such a far off thing but now as the days tick by I'm getting so nervous. I have feelings of doubt and fear; what if this doesn't work? How are we going to pay for all this? What if things go wrong? What if I die? All extremely scary stuff. But then I remember that people go through this all the time, every day. I'm going to be ok no matter the outcome because my trust is in God and not the doctors.
Psalm 37:5
Commit everything you do to the Lord; trust Him and He will help you.
Psalm 56:3 - 4
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Psalm 56:9 - 13
When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. In God I will praise His Word, in the Lord I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to you, for you have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
Proverbs 3:5 - 6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 16:20
He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
Isaiah 26:3 - 4
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord Jehovah, is everlasting strength.
Jeremiah 17: 5 - 8
Thus says the Lord: cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.
If we can give so much trust to imperfect human beings, why is it often so hard to trust God?
Psalm 37:5
Commit everything you do to the Lord; trust Him and He will help you.

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

If we can give so much trust to imperfect human beings, why is it often so hard to trust God?
- He will help us (Psalm 37:5)
- He is our refuge (Psalm 62:8)
- He will keep us safe (Proverbs 29:25)
- He will be our shield (Proverbs 30:5)
- We will never be disgraced (Romans 10:10-12)
These promises don't mean that we will be spared difficult times, but we can trust that even in the midst of life's trials God's love will carry us through.
