I read about it each day and in my own life I\u2019ve witnessed it and a day doesn\u2019t go by that I doubt it.  It has nothing to do with God, but only my lack of faith.  If I had the faith to trust God completely my life would be so different.  I wouldn\u2019t waste so much time worrying and doubting, but be more focused on God\u2019s plans for my life.  My anxiety would be gone, because I would rest in the Lord and not my own understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to try harder in trusting God and His mercy and faithfulness.  I need to spend more time in prayer and remembering all that He has done for me already.  As soon as doubt comes into my mind, I need to run to my Lord for help to remove it.  I have the choice whether to trust my God or not and if I choose wisely God will do the rest.  Trust is a very big part of love and if I don\u2019t trust my Lord, I\u2019m telling Him I don\u2019t love Him completely.  <\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord you know my heart and my desire to honor and love you.  I can\u2019t do it in my flesh and only by the Holy Spirit can it be done.  So please Lord fill me with the Holy Spirit and take charge of your servant that I will trust in your faithfulness and show you that I love you completely<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Psalms 36:5 Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
