For Christians.....?

Question

Do you trust God?
Do you worry?
Do you realize that you can't do both?
(really think about it)

Answer 1

trust=faith
worry=no faith

Answer 2

I trust God for everything. As hard as it can get sometimes, I don't worry. I put all of my issues and circumstances in the hands of God and leave them there. As soon as you begin to worry about the very things that you have "given to God" you have metaphorically taken those problems back. It's kind of like telling God that He isn't handling things the way you want them to be handled and showing Him that you don't trust Him to effectively solve your problem better than you can.

Answer 3

Interesting and predictable in theology, but not practicality.

Would you consider king David a worry-wart?
For the choir director; according to Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. (Ps. 69)

I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me

Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards.

I could go on. The point is, is that being a Christian is not without worry, but though God's power struggles to overcome worry and trust in Him.

Phil. 4:6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

But Paul is not telling us not to worry as being a sin, but as being an opportunity to allow God to carry that weight that so easily besets us.

Careful how you interpret and judge other Christians. "can't be both".

Answer 4

I so know what you are saying. It is so easy to pray and say, "I am trusting God", and yet to still carry the burden of worry. It is our own human nature. And, with anything you have to practice at it before you get good at it. I am doing much better about taking my cares to God and leaving them there. . .while still doing my part. . .but not being such a worry wart like I normally am.

God wants us to have peace. . .

Answer 5

You can do both. Worry is a natural human emotion and there is nothing wrong with experiencing this emotion as long as it doesn't control your life.

Instead your trust in God must control your life.

I do recognize that many times worry is a result of someone not trusting in God.

Answer 6

Yes I trust God and I worry but it's in the human nature but I always put my trust in Him and relax and I know He will guide and protect me.

Answer 7

I do trust God, but also I'm aware that I must do my part. I do not worry about things. I pray for spiritual guidance and do the best I can.

Answer 8

I think if we trust in God then He has to trust in us first. To be trusted by God is better than being loved. God loves all of His children, but He doesn't trust them all.

Answer 9

Yes I trust God but that doesn't mean that what I want to happen is what he wants to happen so I worry that I am wrong in wanting it.

Answer 10

If your TRULY trust in God's word, your worry will be taken away, but we are all sinners and fall short of the glory....so we will continue to "think WE are in control...and we are NOT"...

Answer 11

Yes.
Sometimes. So, Yes.
and Yes, you can do both. Just because I trust God. It doesn't mean I can't worry. God helps those who help themselves. It means I can trust him, but not do what I please and expect God to come for the rescue all the time.
Think about it.

For example. When Jesus was fasting for forty day and forty night, Satan came to tempt Him, and said to Jesus Jump off the cliff and God for sure will send His Angels to protect you, and you will not be harmed. Jesus said to him, don't tempt the Lord.
If you don't worry about things. A person will not have any responsibilities for their action or what ramification that may come from it.
