What does from the fear of trusting you will leave me more destitute mean?

[Ericj5592]

This from the litany of trust. Can you give me 3 examples so I can get a clearer definition of what that means. Thanks

It means that you are scared you will end up broke.

I’m not certain that the idea is purely that of money.

I think that it’s asking for Jesus to help us let go of our fears. One of these is the fear that, if I don’t run my life – that is, if I let go and trust in Jesus to lead me – then I’ll end up with less than if I just go at it myself. So, for examples:

• perhaps I fear that, if I don’t drive my life…
  • I’ll have fewer opportunities for relationships
  • I’ll have fewer possessions
  • I’ll have less happiness

Especially for Americans, there’s a certain streak of self-reliance. In a sense, that’s a negative dynamic, since it says “no thanks, Jesus, I’m gonna do this on my own.”

Me too.
I like for God to rubber-stamp my plans.
Letting go and letting God has been the work of many years and I’m not “there” yet
