Why Is It so Hard to Trust God?
Confusion 

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." ~2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)

How many times do you think you have spoken the words of the Lord’s Prayer? A hundred? A thousand? How many times have you said, “Your will be done on earth as in heaven?” Do you mean what you are praying? Did you realize that every time you say those things you are asserting that God’s agenda is more important than yours?

Some people find their trust in God draining away because he doesn’t seem to be doing what they want when they want it. Think for just a moment what God’s greatest desire for you is. It is not to make you wealthy, famous, powerful, or even comfortable. It is to get you through the minefield of your earthly life safely home to heaven.

Let God’s ultimate goal for your life be your goal too. Replace confusion with this kind of clarity: “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). Ah--I can see clearly now. You?
God bless

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
