Trust- Scripture Challenge

Hey, everyone!

Today is Wednesday and here at Hoosier Card Angel Creations that means it's time for the Scripture Challenge! I enjoy looking up the word of the week and finding scriptures that contain that word and then selecting the ones that speak the most to me. I am on the word TRUST this week and what a great word that is!
I have always been a real trusting person. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt and often I am more trusting than I should be. I used to worry my mother so much when I was growing up because I never met a stranger and I was just always trusting that other people would treat me the same way I would treat them!

The scripture I chose came from a rub-on actually. It is a favorite of mine and I knew when I read it that I didn't want to use any other scriptures. This says so much about how I feel about God. It is found in Psalms 28:7. The LORD truly is my strength most days. I feel so tired and weak if I am not leaning on Him. I couldn't make it through one day without Him. He absolutely shields me from times when others have hurt me, when I have been afraid, or felt vulnerable. He is always there to shield and protect me and I can honestly say that the hurt and pain never seem to last long when I go to Him like a child would to their father! My heart absolutely trusts in Him. God has proven Himself over and over to me throughout my life and He has always remained so faithful. I wish I could say that I have never failed Him but that would not be true. I am so glad He never gives up on me. I love that the verse ends with "and I am helped." So often I can look back and see His hand on my life, helping me and encouraging me. He is such an awesome God!

My journaling is about how amazing it is that no matter how big or small the "mountain" may seem, I know that I can trust the LORD to get me through it. He doesn't always move the mountain because it's not always in my best interest for Him to do that, but He will go with me and help me. There are so many times I have wanted to help my daughter and go with her through things she had to do that I knew were hard. I wanted to keep doing things for her because she was my baby girl but I knew she had to do things for herself so she would learn. I can't always be with her now at school and I just trust God to take care of her and shield her, too. I know He helps her. It is so comforting to know that even though I cannot be with my children every single minute of their lives their Heavenly Father can. I am so thankful that I know the LORD and not just that I have heard of Him or know Jesus' name but that I am a child of God and He loves me and protects me and helps me as I **TRUST** in Him!
