"Strive to Trust Me"

I began reading an awesome devotional my wonderful friend and Godly woman, Lynette gave me for Christmas "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. It's about enjoying Peace in His presence. The devotionals are in first person as God is speaking to me, so as I'm up at 12:13am writing in my journal and just struggling through some stuff, I open it up for today's devotional January 22 and I wanted to share it with you:
"STRIVE TO TRUST ME in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessing I have hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that I am sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust Me in all situations. Don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment-accept things exactly as they are- and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances.

Trust is like a staff you lean on, as you journey uphill with Me. If you are trusting in Me consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. LEAN ON, TRUST, AND BE CONFIDENT IN ME WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS AND MIND. Psalms 52:8, Proverbs 3:5-6 (Amp)"

Yes, I was convicted once again, to just TRUST, not to run away or give up on the people or circumstances. I NEED TO TRUST AND LEAN ON HIM through those difficult situations!
