After struggling with doubts and fears, having a hard time trusting God for more than a year now… I am finally to a place in my faith where I can trust God. I’ve come to accept that I can’t have all my questions answered and it’s ok to just believe. Finally, I feel some peace and hope. My faith is growing now! I think I’m even a little bit happy for the first time in a long time. But then today I get this thought in my head to be careful because something can come along at any moment and take all that peace away, so don’t be too happy.That’s the old me way of thinking and I just need to ignore it now. But I hate that my brain always does this to me! My whole life I’ve been a thinker and questioner, always want to understand something before I trust it. It was hard coming back to my faith and letting go of all of that. It took me a very long time to learn to let go. I’m still working on it I guess. Right now I’m happy to just believe and trust, it’s so much easier this way! It gives me hope in this noisy world that’s always saying the opposite. Really I hate the world, or at least I hate that the world seems so against all that I am trying and want to be. My stupid brain doesn’t help either. Shut up stupid brain!! 😦
I should ask, is that just the evil one speaking to me??
 
Sounds to me all you need to do is to learn which thoughts (inner voices) to listen to. I have the same problem, and I say: “Away with you Satan!”
 
You’re not alone there. I wonder how i’ll know it’s the devil putting thoughts into my mind or its just my own thinking. I’m where you were with your faith at the moment, but it sounds like you have come out the other side, so well done and keep doing what you’re doing to stay strong! 🙂
 
Anything that is negative with your relationship with God is always suspect, and usually best to ignore them. As you said, develope your trust in God for he is good and is waiting to help us find more ways to come to him.

Happy to hear of your progress and will pray for you.​

May God bless and keep you. May God’s face shine on you. May God be kind to you and give you peace.
 
Trust the Lord in all circumstances! Praise Him for everything.
