Trusting God In Everything
Trusting God in everything requires great faith. Great faith like Noah, for instance. God warned Him of deadly flood waters that would come upon the earth and destroy all life. A flood that would kill all had never happened since the beginning of time. However, Noah trusted God. God gave Noah specific instructions to build an ark that would preserve the lives of his family and himself. As all of earth’s inhabitants washed away from existence, Noah and his family would be safe from destruction. Noah, a man of great faith, stood set apart from a wicked world and prepared in obedience to God.
Focus Scripture
By faith [with confidence in God and His word] Noah, being warned by God about events not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his family. By this [act of obedience] he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith. Hebrews 11:7
Trusting God In Your Mental Health
The pain and suffering that mental illness and mental health challenges can cause are often unthinkable to a person until it happens to them or someone that they love. This pain can be so vast that the person experiencing it longs to remember what life looked like before the suffering. During my journey, I once found myself at a point where I could hardly remember the person I was before bipolar and anxiety hit my life. Do you feel that way now? Have you at any point?
Believers living with a mental illness or mental health challenge need the kind of faith Noah had. Though you’ve been fighting for so long, there is a life of joy on the other side of your pain. The rainbow God put in the sky after the flood represented a promise. You also have a promise from God. Your promise is an abundant life that Jesus came to give you.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10
Will you trust God for healing and the ability to thrive in life? It may have been several years since you’ve felt healthy, but will you trust God in everything like Noah?
Encouragement
I leave this piece of encouragement with you. Follow God’s lead, work towards your healing, do all you need to do to reach a life of wellness. This life includes seeking God through His Word and prayer. This life also includes worshiping through the pain, taking help from safe people in your life and following your health plan given to you by your therapist and psychiatrist. Don’t give up! Remember, you are never alone. God is with you. You are precious and loved.
PRAYER
“Mighty God, thank you for your healing power. I trust you in everything. I trust you in this dark area of my life. I believe that you will deliver me from the dark spaces of mental illness and help me to thrive in life abundantly. When I doubt your promise, please lead me back to you and strengthen my faith to believe all that you have said. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

THREE WAYS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR TRUST IN GOD
THROUGH PRAYER
- Have conversations with God where you pour out your doubts and fears. Receive reassurance and peace because you know that God hears your prayers.
- “The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.” Proverbs 15:29
- “The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” Psalm 145:18
- “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.” 1 John 5:14
THROUGH READING SCRIPTURE
- Reading the Word of God shows us the character of God and showcases real life stories of those who trusted God in everything.
- “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
LIVING BY FAITH
- Walk your trust in God out. Be full of courage believing by faith that God sees things unseen and unknown to you. He is working in and through every area of your life. He works all things together for the good of them that love the Lord.
- “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
- “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1
