Take heart, you're normal. God is working in you and building your faith. It's beautiful and awesome. It is true we are supposed to trust God and not worry at all (There is a passage in Matthew....6:25-34 about that and many others). When we are in Heaven and have been made perfect and complete, that will be the case. But until then, we still have our human side, or flesh to deal with. It does get in the way, makes us worry, and causes us to struggle. But fortunately we can give it all to God and He is faithful to take care of us, and help us grow so that we are progressively getting better. I understand it bugs you though. Just know that you are not alone. I go through that all of the time and so does everyone else.
Consider these as well:
James 1:2-4
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith must finish it's work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
Also you might consider the relationship among Jesus and His disciples and the growth in them that followed. John is a good book to read to get into all of this.
Hope this helps.
Many blessings.

You're just being human. I have a huge problem right now too and I know for a fact that Jesus will take care of it. I know that in the end Jesus has a plan for me and that this thing is going to work out and be better in the end than it was in the beginning but I'm am worried as all get out. I'm a huge worrier. I praise God through my trials but I do worry. All you can do is pray to God. Let Him know that you love Him even though you are having a problem and ask him to bless you with peace and contentment. Don't be too hard on yourself. God understands that worrying is a human trait.

There is a difference between believing and knowing the truth. Just as u know night comes after day, u know Jesus is real and Lord of your life. Same way u know that His word is guranteed to work. As a born again child of God, Jesus has taken care of everything that concerns u on the cross and He has given u the authority and if u decree a thing it shall be established. Talk positively to that situation u face, declare a solution and know that all things work together for your good. Worrying will get you nowhere,its the word of God that will elevate you to a higer level, u don't need a miracle to stop worrying, just stop knowing that u serve a God who never fails and His word is established in your life.
Cheers

Your faith is still weak. If you believe, have faith, you will have a peace. For you to lack peace, your relationship with Jesus needs assurance and strengthening.
Your situation is not unique, most Christians struggle with this because God doesn't work in the manner they desire though the end result is the same; He gets the job done.
Believing Jesus will handle something and worrying about it is testing Him. You want to know when, how, who, etc and He's not going to reveal that until it's the right time.
Jesus provides us information on a need to know basis, because if we did know what He knows, it would be disasterous and we would foil his plans for the better.
The way I developed complete trust in Him was to realize, there is much more to a situation than I know. I could not possibly comprehend all that is involved, and most likely wouldn't want to. I know that Jesus has to move other people and events to make something happen, so it takes time and preparation. What seems to us like last minute results were the results of complex timing. He has been busy the entire time unknowing to us, making everything just right because that is His way, He wants our needs to be fulfilled just right.
Just try to imagine all that would be involved for Jesus to solve your problem, who he has to work with and what that involves and it will be much easier to be patient (trusting).

I do the Same thing>> I learned that worry Is: " Satan Sitting on our shoulder, whispering LIES to Us."! ( He's the Father of all Lies, and loves to watch our expression when He does this Or Uses Any Of His Tools On Us.) Just say out Loud Devil, " I do not accept that Lie in Jesus Name, > then I Quote the Scripture verse " He Is Greater In ME, than YOU that's in This World"! Guess what .....He has to go! If He Returns > DO IT AGAIN! GOD WILL BLESS YOU AND HONOR YOUR FAITH, and Give YOU Peace about what ever You are concerned about....Letting you Know He Is IN CHARGE! Praise God, THANK YOU JESUS!!

you are not alone. we all do that as Christians.
We worry about something and then ask God to help us and before we end our prayer, we are still trying to solve it ourselves.. I have learned to leave my problems at the altar and it has done me a world of good. I can on with something else and rest assured God is taking care of that problem..

Humans are weak by nature and do doubt and judge the outcome a bit at times!
