I want to know how do you trust God in spite of these twist and turns of this thing called life?

Question

It seems hard although I do see acts of God through me it just seems to weifgh me down sometimes

Answer 1

The trick is not relying upon God to help you, but going to Him for advice.

Answer 2

Read the story of Joseph. He is a great example.

New coat, things are going great
Thrown into a well out of his brother's envy
Sold as a slave
Wrongfully put in prison for a crime he didn't commit
And all this led him to having all the authority of Egypt and he saved many people's lives, including his brothers who at first plotted to kill him.

If we do everything on our own, we probably would have given up when we were thrown in the well, but there was light at the end of the tunnel but he was just too far away to see it. Our own lives are that way. Did the Jews know during the Holocaust that within a few years they would have their own country after 2000 years of wandering the earth?

We can only trust God that there is some good consequence at the end of the road. Even the most wretched events have some good consequence, we are just too blind to see it.

Answer 3

Think of all the Super Heroes that people have come up with

they are all from someones imagination

Christ is a Super Hero like noone can imagine
There is nobody came up with someone who died and came back to life with more power than it took to create the universe

the suffering we have here is because man refuses to believe in Christ

Look around you the Prophecies of the bible are coming to pass. Be joyful for the day of the Lord is near

Answer 4

trust in God's Word... Romans 8:28

"For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose."

if you have truly put your faith and trust in God then you can count on this verse because God does not lie... everything that goes on in your life... even the bad... happens for a reason... and God uses even the bad situations and works everything together for your good. Remember that God is sovereign. and 1 more verse in Jeremiah i cant remember exactly but God says, "For I have plans to prosper you, and not to harm you" i think its 29:11.

so just take God up on His promise. God doesnt mind if you challenged Him like how Jacob wrestled with God once until God blessed Him. just keep trusting...

Answer 6

I know how you feel. But if you are a Christian, you need to remember that you are a soldier in the spiritual warfare. So get up and fight and don't sit and be concerned about all the artillery going on around you.

Answer 7

It's just our faith. Read this book called "The Hiding Place". It'll teach you a lot about Corrie ten Boom and the concentration camp. She kept her faith even though hundreds of women die in that camp everyday.

There must be a metamorphosis contained in the guy's techniques-set. yet another weapon of conflict is the blood of Jesus. Say to the enemy: "devil the blood of Jesus is against you." in case you're saved, it may paintings.
