Lord, I Trust You

Good morning, God bless you. Some may not be receptive to this sentiment, considering what’s happening around us. However, God is still on the throne. My thoughts today center around God knowing us from the inside out. He knows our thoughts and emotions when there is anger towards Him. The temper tantrum of a two-year old comes to mind when you have to go bed; when you can’t have what you want right now. Many are angry right now and blame God for the circumstances. No matter how we feel, God is still sovereign.

My thoughts lean toward the fact that humanity wants what it wants now. There is a lack of acceptance that when circumstances are tough, consideration for what God wants us to know is overlooked. Is it necessary to change some things? Many do not want to change their behavior. There is a desire for the blessings of God but not the need to honor God. The thought that we are good, there is nothing God needs to change. “I got this!” But do you? When catastrophes happen, do you maintain control? Keep trusting God and that He desires the best for you?

Do I understand what people are dealing with right now? I do. I have lost everything at one point in time, except my faith in God. No matter the circumstances, He told me He would never leave me nor forsake me. I have been homeless, sleeping in the park, and praying to God for protection for me and my children. Things taken for granted, bathroom access, a refrigerator, and my next meal were luxuries at one point. God has been faithful to walk me through. Was it easy for me? Of course not! For my children? Of course not! I had to keep saying, “Lord, I trust you. However hard this might be.”

What do you want God to do for you? Do you trust Him? Did you know a big part of faith is trusting God? He is faithful to keep His promises. He knows the plans He has for you. They are for good and not for evil (Jeremiah 29:11). And I do not believe He was spearking only to Israel.

Be blessed.

  1. Willie Torres Jr. – Thank you for visiting my site and reading my story. I hope that it has blessed you in some way, shape, or form. To tell you a bit about myself, I am a New Christian, or as I like to say, "A Toddler Christian," being saved as of 2017. From a very young age, my family always told me that I had a calling. I believe that it was God's plan for me to become a Christian, and I am so thankful that he has opened my eyes to the truth. For years I had been living my life in a way that I thought was right, but it was only when I was at my lowest point that I finally realized I was missing the most important relationship of all – the one with Jesus Christ. I had been trying to serve and to love those around me, but I had forgotten to put Him first. It was only when I felt overwhelmed by depression, loneliness and suicidal thoughts that I was finally willing to open up to the Lord and let Him into my life. That was in 2017, and since then, I have never looked back. I now know how important it is to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and I strive to make sure that He is at the center of everything I do. I started writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies, and they recount the various trials I have faced and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. I'm grateful for God's guidance in my life, and I'm thankful that He has been with me every step of the way. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my wife of 35 years for the immense love, encouragement and support she has given to me over the years. Her unwavering faith in me has made me the person I am today. I am also thankful to our two boys, who have been the greatest children any parent could ask for. Their presence in our lives has filled it with joy and love, and I cannot thank them enough for that. I am truly blessed to have them in my life, and I cherish every moment we have together. They have made my life infinitely richer, and I am infinitely grateful. I am deeply grateful to the Truth Hunters and Lyn Leahz for giving me the chance to share my writings on their website. It was this opportunity that provided the encouragement I needed to take the leap and start my own. I also want to thank those who have been a source of inspiration and support for me, encouraging me to keep moving forward and never give up. As we say in Our Facebook Ministry, I hope to continue to grow in Christ together with you. You are loved, and I am thankful for all the support I have received. Sincerely, Willie Torres Jr.

    Good morning and God bless you! Despite the struggles, God remains sovereign. Trust in His timing and plans, even when we don’t understand. His faithfulness endures, and His promises are sure. Keep holding on to faith, for He knows what’s best.

    Speaking of toddler tantrums and trust in God, I was thinking this week about how Jesus said we are to be as little children. In that context, I was further thinking about how toddlers’ wellbeing can only exist in the context of dependence on and submission to their parents. They may not always appreciate this, but it is simply reality. In the same way, our wellbeing can only exist in utter dependence, trust and obedience to our heavenly Father. I love your sharing on this. I also noticed that it’s not a coincidence that the post is immediately preceding the one about peace. Trust is the way to peace!
