Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on our own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

 As a Christian, fully engaged in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you will become aware of His presence in your life, helping you with life’s difficult moments and seeing you through them. As time goes on, you build up a storehouse of stories where He intervened on your behalf and worked through those challenges to make you stronger in your walk with the Lord. This confidence, in His abilities, helps you understand today’s verse more clearly.

 Trust is the essential ingredient of the Christian life. Trusting God, that He knows your current situation and believing that He will help you, gives you the confidence to face your troubles head on and follow God’s lead, without wavering in your faith. I can’t tell you the number of times He has come through for me, and each time I develop an inner peace, even in times of great difficulty. Yea, I’m concerned, but my concern is that I won’t falter in my faith as I trust Him in the process of working through whatever challenge I face.

 For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. Psalm 107:9 

God wants to give you a fulfilling life. Psalm 107:9 is a good benchmark to measure your faith and trust in Him. If you aren’t experiencing the satisfaction and fulness of His goodness, maybe you need to step away from your earthly crutches and walk closer with God, in faith and trust. Once you can get to the point of standing in front of life’s difficulties with confidence, then you’ll know God on a deeper level and the peace you’ll experience, even in the storms of life, will help you as He directs your daily path. God bless!
