Trusting the Lord


Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight."

Being an adolescent mother can tear at the strands of trust you have with relationships and family members, and when you aren’t getting any support from them, it’s hard to know what you are doing is right. You must make so many decisions about things you may not fully understand or have never thought of until you are faced with it. Trusting the Lord can be the last thing on your mind, but it’s something that is very important. A lot of the time when we put trust in other people it fails, but when we put trust in God, it will NEVER fail. Psalm 37:3-6 says, “Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act, making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday.”
Trusting your life to the Lord can seem crazy and scary. For years you can feel like you have control of your life, until one day it starts slipping through your fingers and you can’t figure out how you are losing your grip. This can be especially difficult if you have put your trust in others and they betrayed that trust. Psalm 37:3-6 is the perfect verse to show what God does when we put our trust in him. When we have God in our hearts and in our lives, nothing in this world can touch us. Psalm 56:3-4 says, “When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise. In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” When the Lord is in your corner, you cannot, and will not fail.
Everyone at Grow in Grace OS wants to see these young ladies succeed in life. We want them to have a stable home environment, a career that they are passionate about, and the ability to take care of their child, but all of that is on the outside. If they are having difficulty trusting their lives to the Lord, we want to help them spiritually so they can reconnect with God and know in their hearts that he is the ultimate provider. Trust is a hard thing to give when it has been betrayed time and time again. Have peace of mind in knowing he will not fail you because his trust is like a river that never stops flowing.

Slow to Anger

A lot of the time one of the main emotions we feel is anger. It’s difficult for us to understand why we are on a certain path. We try to blame God and we become very angry with Him. When you don’t understand how your life ended up the way it is, it’s easy to find someone to blame, and since God is our maker, we almost always find a way to point the finger at Him. James 1:19-20 says, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” This verse clearly shows that God does not want us to be angry. God desires for us to be righteous despite how we feel. When we become angry, we sometimes want to act irrationally, which can le
