Believe in the Invisibility of Trust

Written by Joe Dardano

Trust in God is an invisible process. God does not want us to worry about variables in our lives, but simply to pray and put our trust in Him: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” (Matthew 6:25) Yes we have desires. Yes we long for things in this earthly life. God encourages us to bring our petitions to Him (Psalm 37:5). The process of how to do that is important. We are not to run around worrying; rather we are to pray, relax and believe the prayer was heard and answered and then let God do the work (Mark 11:24). The challenge is letting go and trusting God, an invisible process. Humanity invariably wants guarantees, visible signs and security. People want tangible processes and results immediately, so when prayer is not answered right away, many lose hope and give up. But we are told to persist (1 Thess 5:17). The act of persistence is an act of faith.
