Simply Trust

The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7

I was reading through Nahum last night and this verse hit me like a ton of bricks. The simplicity of this verse amazes me. I trust, He cares. That's it. That's all I have to do. TRUST. Yet I often make it so complicated. Why is that? Why is it that when God makes something so easy for us, we turn it in to something so complicated?

I leave for Uganda tomorrow and this verse has now become my prayer for the trip. To simply trust.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings.

Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Me heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

If you would like to pray for me while I'm away, please pray for trust. Pray these verses over me. Pray that I would SIMPLY TRUST. Thank you for lifting me up in prayer. Over the years, your prayers have helped me to continue the Lord's work with strength, encouragement, and boldness. The power of prayer is evident to me, and I appreciate them more than you will ever understand.
