I wanted to return to the topic of trusting in God as I have some new understanding on the topic. Over the past few months I have noticed a reoccurring theme in my life where God feels most present in my life in the mornings for the most part. As the day progresses and evening falls, I feel Gods strength leaving me. I suspect this is my mind growing tired as the day goes on, or possibly the devil trying to grab ahold of me, or a combination of the two. In the evenings is when I doubt, fear, and worry the most. I see where this is not the right thing to do. A friend told me: "Doubt and fear are from the devil; hope, faith, and peace are from God." This makes sense to me. I have learned that instead of trying to reach out to others when we go through a time of crisis, it serves us well to reach out to God. Using His help we are able to overcome these problems on our own. Learning to hold Gods strength in my life is trusting in Him. Whenever I am going through a rough time and go to reach out to someone, I stop myself and say "wait, is this something I can deal with on my own." God is helping to give me strength to do this.
There is a Veritas Bible study coming up this week that I am looking forward to. the topic is doubt. I may have to come back and add to this later but I'll share it for now.
