Trusting God is not that Easy, but it’s the Best Thing that you can do
Trust is not that easy to give. It only exists because of consistency and deep relationship. It’s not something that you can find around the corner.

This is the reason why trusting other people or even God is not that easy. Believing that He will never fail us takes a lot of faith.

John 16:33, NIV
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33, NIV Jesus didn’t promise us a comfortable life. In fact, He said to His disciples that they would face tribulations. They will go through pain and suffering. They will experience problems and persecution, but despite these things, Jesus gives them the courage to keep going. He has overcome this world. Meaning to say, the enemy no longer has the power to trap us in His schemes as long as we have Jesus in our hearts. He is the One…
