Friends,

What does it mean “to TRUST God?”

 

[ConstantineTG]

Friends,

What does it mean “to TRUST God?”

To put all faith in Him and never doubt. Many of us fail because we doubt God is here for us. Like Peter walking on water, the moment he doubted, he sank. We should keep our eyes on God at all times so that we may do the impossible.

Don’t ever wonder that He loves you, that’s trusting in God even if we don’t understand why or or how. He loves even me (a sinner)!

215 "The sum of your word is truth; and every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever."30 “And now, O LORD God, you are God, and your words are true”;31 this is why God’s promises always come true.32 ** God is Truth itself, whose words cannot deceive. This is why one can abandon oneself in full trust** to the truth and faithfulness of his word in all things. The beginning of sin and of man’s fall was due to a lie of the tempter who induced doubt of God’s word, kindness and faithfulness.30 Ps 119:160.
31 2 Sam 7:28.

2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.

2547 The Lord grieves over the rich, because **they find their consolation in the abundance of goods.**341 "Let the proud seek and love earthly kingdoms, but blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven."342 **Abandonment to the providence of the Father in heaven frees us from anxiety **about tomorrow.343 **Trust in God is a preparation for the blessedness of the poor. They shall see God. **
341 Lk 6:24.
342 St. Augustine, De serm. Dom. in monte 1,1,3L 34,1232.
343 Cf. Mt 6:25-34.

304 And so we see the Holy Spirit, the principal author of Sacred Scripture, often attributing actions to God without mentioning any secondary causes. This is not a “primitive mode of speech”, but a profound way of recalling God’s primacy and absolute Lordship over history and the world,165 and so of educating his people to trust in him. The prayer of the Psalms is the great school of this trust.166
165 Cf. Isa 10:5-15; 45:51; Deut 32:39; Sir 11:14.
166 Cf. Ps 22; 32; 35; 103; 138; et al.

 

[svid]

I think it means that we let God’s plan take over because we believe that God’s plan will get us from here to our Heavenly home, even if we don’t know how it will do that, or what will happen along the way.

St. Bernadette followed God’s plan. Why? Because our Lady, speaking on behalf of Heaven, said, “I do not promise to make you happy in this world, but in the next.”

**Who Better than God to tell us **
Matthew 6:25-34

25: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27: Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28: And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32: (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
