Trusting sometimes can get hard. 

I heard a statistic for where I live yesterday in Modesto CA that our unemployment rate is 18%… 18%!!! This is obviously very high in comparison to the rest of the country. 

Last night at our weekly prayer meeting, we prayed for everyone that was unemployed. I was so excited to see so many people in a tough situation not give up and still trust in God. You could hear the underlying tone; “No matter WHAT I may walk through, I am going to TRUST in my God.”

Here is the promise I know:

Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him. Who have been called according to His purpose.”  So often, we look at this and only think that it is going to be “happy” times and easy situations but the scripture says ALL things. This means every hard thing you go through, it will work out FOR you. It is time for us to change our thinking. We need to quit thinking on the past and only look to the future, striving to learn the lesson God is trying to teach us while reaching to obtain all that he has for us. I have heard it said that we only have a certain amount of thoughts per day. Of the total amount, how much are we spending on negativity and complaints? I wonder what could happen if we changed our thinking around to a positive attitude and making solutions?  It’s time to change our perspective. Keep trusting in God knowing that his promises will never return void.

What about you?  Are you trusting this promise God has for you? What can I with you about?
