Learning to Trust God

I don't have any trouble trusting God in the most important thing...

my salvation.

God has clearly shown me in His word

what a sinner I am 

and how much I need a Savior.

Jesus died to take away my sin nature,

to give me power over the remaining sin in my life,

and to put me in a right relationship with God.

I am bought with a price......

the shed blood of Jesus.

I have been given a new heart,

and the ability to understand His word

by the working of His Spirit 

deep within my soul.

Having all that, I say this....

I struggle to trust Him in the little things,

the small details,

the tiny,

 nitty-gritty daily dealings of my life.

I see sin manifest itself when I least expect.....

in a thought,

a motive, 

a desire,

a word.

Overcoming sin is a daily fight...

an on-going, never-ending battle 

with the unseen enemy. 

 O Lord, help me to know Your word more and more,

so that I can overcome sin.

Lastly, O God,

help me to remember that overcoming sin

brings glory to You.

May Your power be manifest in me.
