 GOD, I AM TRUSTING

"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is in the Lord. 
They shall be like a tree planted by water; sending out its roots by the
stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay
green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to
bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7, 8

At all times God has your back. Wherever you go, whatever you do 
know that God is with you. Place your full trust in God.

One of my favorite spiritual writers was Mary Kupferle. 

She would say over and over again, "God, I am trusting!"

She repeated this in a quiet but firm manner, and she said the burden was
lifted and the problem was solved.

Perhaps you think that your problems are more complicated and involved and that you can't accomplish the desired miracle of healing or harmony or
supply with such a small and simple prayer. No matter what your problem,
no matter how great or small its size, God never fails. But you must
learn to turn to God in order to receive the blessings that you desire. 
This is what the little prayer, "God, I am trusting!" helps you do. It
turns your thoughts and attention to God who is the source of all your
blessings, and the Creator of your being.

Sometimes you and I may feel that an old condition or difficulty is too
deeply embedded in our minds, bodies, or lives to come out easily by using
so simple a prayer. We may feel that we need some great soul-lifting
realization or some inspiring revelation to break our bonds and set us
free.

Jesus often said that He, of Himself, could do nothing. He knew the
futility of forcing matters or of trying to accomplish things by means of
personal will and human reasoning. He knew the truth that it is always
God who does the work. Jesus told His followers this, and He told them
only to believe, to trust, and to know that God knew their needs, desires,
and purposes better than they themselves.

This is still the Masters advice to you and to me today; namely, to trust
God's power above the power of humans. This is what we do when we say, "God, I am trusting!"

All the most poetic and beautifully worded prayers in the world can't
bring us any closer to God than are speaking this simple prayer directly
from our hearts.

When the Master raised Lazarus from the dead, His words were simple ones. He said, "Father, I thank you for having heard me." John 11:41                          

Is this much different from "God, I am trusting?" The Master’s prayers were
always simple ones, and are should follow the pattern He set. The
complexity of the problem did not alter Jesus’ simplicity of action, and
it does not need to alter ours. We are not to try to impress God or
anyone else, but only come closer to a living awareness of the presence of
God.

This is what this simple prayer accomplishes, so that we may dislodge any
negative belief from a place in our consciousness by a small but
persistent prayer that helps us to become consciously more aware of God.

You can rise above your difficulties through persistent, small prayers. 
The turning of the moment is the important thing, and this turning of our
attention to God – the all-powerful ever-present God – is the way to
find God and the solution to our problems. The more often we turn to God,
the more often we are consciously with God. The more we are consciously
with God, the more like God we consciously become, demonstrating
perfection in our minds, bodies, and lives.

You will find God very near - as the faith of your heart, the guidance
you desire, and the light of inspiration.

When you invest 100% of yourself in God, you will find the 100% returns
what you are looking for. When you begin to invest yourself – your
thoughts and words and actions – in God, you will find that you express
more of God and you will find the truth and perfection of the kingdom
becoming more evident in your daily life.

Trusting and returning to God in prayer, know that God's power is
unfailing and is available to you whenever you are willing to become aware
of it in your life.

God, I am trusting!  Strive to trust in absolute trust in God.
