Blindness

Why Is It so Hard to Trust God?
Blindness

It’s hard to trust in God for the future if you think that your present life is a dry, parched desert. The evil one works very hard on your head to convince you that you have nothing, that you are doomed to a life of disappointment and frustration. He massages your wounded ego to seduce you into thinking that you’ve been cheated in life, that nothing is working for you nor ever will.

That’s not reality, though; it’s just ignorance. Or worse--blindness to the wonderful things that God has been doing for his believers. St. Paul wrote to some Christians who were being tempted to think they had nothing:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:"
~Ephesians 1:3-4 (KJV) 

As you put Jesus’ gospel glasses on, as you see yourself as loved and forgiven, you can start noticing the good things that have been there all along: faithful friends, dear family members, skills and gifts, daily bread, flowers and sunsets, and a faithful Savior whose promise of everlasting life cannot be taken away from you. God bless
