People trust in their intelligence, their power, their charm, their knowledge, their connections, their political candidate, and in their wealth. For those who trust (or trusted...) in their wealth, it is ironic that on the American dollar bill it advises In God We Trust. Ultimately, what will help all of us to weather these difficult times is strengthening our trust in God. Trust in God gives a person peace of mind, the ability to relax and to be free of stress and worry. It helps one to deal with frustrations and difficulties. Like all intelligent discussions, we first have to start with a definition. Trust in God is believing, knowing, internalizing that all that the Almighty does for us if for our good. It is knowing that the Almighty loves us greater than any love one human being can have for another person. He totally knows and understands us and our personal situations. Only the Almighty has the power to impact your situation. He has a track record. You can rely on Him. Everything the Almighty does for you is a gift; there are no strings attached. How does one strengthen his or her trust in God? It really helps if you keep a notebook and write down your thoughts. Lets look at some of the components of Trust in God and what we can do: 1) The Almighty Loves You -- Make a list of all that the Almighty has done for you in the past -- your health, your family, your physical and mental abilities. By writing a list you wont take things for granted nor overlook even the little or constant blessings He has bestowed upon you. 2) All that the Almighty does is for your good and He knows your needs -- Write down all of the times you thought that the Almighty was wrong; that you didnt get what you want -- yet, it turned out better than had you gotten what you wanted. 3) Only the Almighty has the power to help you -- Record those times in your life when you put your trust in another human being and you were disappointed. The person didnt come through for you, the inside tip turned out to be false, your friend or boss changed his mind. Then record all of the times that you thought the situation was hopeless, all was lost -- and things worked out or you were saved. Repeating to oneself There is no other power than the Almighty strengthens ones belief and calms the spirit.
