How do I trust it will all be ok?

[Jessica35m]

I am having a hard time trusting that everything will work out the way God wants it to. How do I let go of the worry and stress? The depression that comes from it is so hard. I have been feeling a bit better the last few days and know that God is there for me and is seeing me through, but I still can't move on from all of my original worries.
I feel so weighted down at times. I have so enjoyed this web sight and it has helped me alot. I want so badly to just believe that it's all going to be ok, but I worry that the moment I do it will all come crashing down.

One of my favorite verses because of its shortness and simplicity, straightforwardness and goosebumps it gives me...

Psalm 46:10

10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

Matthew 6:25-34

25 Therefore I tell you, stop being [a]perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?

27 And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?

28 And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin.

29 Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. [I Kings 10:4-7.]

30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?

32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.

33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

My friend, God have a plan for each and everyone of us. At time you will feel like God have forshaking you or he have turn against you. Like experience of David in Psalms and the experience of Jobs. All we have to do is trust in his promise and walk by faith because everything that come from him is wonderful. Even when we can't really comprehend it. Trust me, I was tested pretty good this couple of weeks, and he reminded me constant this week to walk by faith and after I pray he lead me straight to this post so I can share my experience with you.

I was really depressed this past couple of weeks, because I wasn't doing well in school. I wanted to go to ministry right away after I graduate. But because of this setback I have to wait one or maybe 2 semesters longer than anticipated. As I pray his answer for me was My way is better than your way, my thought is better than your thought. Just walk by faith because each trial and test there's always a lesson to be learn. And as we trust him each time our faith will grow, knowing that whatever may happen if it is his will, then let it be done because it is the best way.

May God Bless you my friend and stay strong because God don't like those who doubt him. Jacob Chapter 1. Walk by faith, and called him and he will answer you. Jeremy 3:33.

LET GO and LET GOD.Who is in charge? Let God be in control of your Life, not you, or you will never find peace or rest as He has lovingly promised for His children.

There is never any reason to worry about anything. Worry does nothing but cause anxiety.

If there is a problem that you are worried about STOP worrying. Just say a little prayer and let go of the problem and let God work it out. Then, trust, with all your heart that God will solve the problem, or bring the answer to you, or make the situation go away.

Whatever you are worried about becomes bigger the more you worry about it.

From this moment on, make the conscious decision that you will not worry ever again. Just let go and let God. Trust and everything will turn out right.

God Bless

Thank you all, I have been trying to let it go, I think it's just been with me so long now that it's just hard to move forward. God has shown me he cares and I know I have to trust Him.

Hi Jessica, I praise the Lord for your salvation, the angels in heaven are singing and rejoicing. I am so happy for you and know that your life will never be the same.

Anxiety and worry have been part of my life, but I have come to learn these are symptoms of me trying to be a control freak and not trusting God. mg: Anxiety and worry is about power and control, once we get it in our heads that God is in utter complete control, then we realize that all the worrying we do is futile. And it does not change our circumstances not one little bit and to add to our situation we get stomache aches, headaches, etc, we have no peace, no rest, no sleep and for what? :lightbulb We basically have just wasted and given precious time to the devil, when we should have been praying, trusting, praising and worshipping our God.

It may not be easy to give up control, for some of us it has been a lifetime habit, but our Lord wants us to surrender all to Him, to trust Him with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding. Remember.. once we are born again, that's what we are meant to do.
We are God's children, He loves us, He wants what is best for us. Whatever the situation we are in, He will work it out for good and all to His glory. It just makes sense to take Gods advice through His Word. All those scriptures given in the previous post have helped me no end. And I also would like to add

Phil 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"

I want that peace He is talking about, a peace that surpasses all understanding. Don't you? When we trust and give our circumstances over to God, we will have peace.

Jessica, it takes faith, it takes practice, it takes courage, but as we learn to let go, we will see how awesome our God is and we will see His power manifest in our lives.

Thanks Calluna. I have been trying to refocus my mind. I'm really hoping my new job will bring me some peace too. I am starting to relax a bit and do realize that "it's all in God's hands" and to let it go. '
My husband keeps telling me that there is nothing I can do and to relax.

im sure glad your here Jessica. . .maybe you just need some brothers and sisters holding you in prayer these days. . .maybe its good just to know someone else listens and writes advices . . .maybe it just feels good to write your hearttroubles of your chest . . .HOWEVER . . .keep returning if it feels good. . .keep writing if it releaves you . . .keep focusing on God's word, His promises and His love for you in personal writings as well as in what you read at home . . .keep moving . . .dont sink into swamps of sadness. . .keep yelling, there is always an ear listening . . .keep writing . . .there will always be a reader, a prayer, an answer . . .God bless you

"There is no problem too big God cannot solve it,
There is no mountain too tall He cannot move it.
There is no storm too dark God cannot calm it,
There is no sorrow too deep He cannot soothe it.
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders,
I know my brother that He will carry you."

Thanks for your words Peeps. I am telling myself that God is watching over me and that He is here for me. I'm trying to not worry and to just move forward and each day comes.
I start my new job on Monday, thanks to my prayers being answered, so I'm hoping that will help me too.

The word of God is true and trust worthy!!! amen....
Dear jessica i advise you to spend your time in reading and studying the word of God as much as you can, for the bible says faith comes by hearing the word of God, the more you know what God has kept for you the more you will be able to trust him.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
hebrews 11:1-2

may you be blessed

How do "YOU" know it will be OK

Hi there again Sister, Have you ever heard the saying; Take it to the cross, or nail it to the cross and cover it with the healing blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and our King. I did that when I was having a rough time once when I was learning to trust in our Lord, The wife of our preacher sang a song that answered all by problems, Take it to the cross and leave it there covered with the blood. There's nothing our Lord can't do (except Lie), Go to the cross and leave what troubles you right there and walk away. Praise God!
My Lord and Your Lord is the Best!!

Thanks Capt. Mac, I am trying so hard to trust in God and let it go, but everytime it seems like I can something else happens that brings it all back. I am working on it though.
