Trusting God is easy. After all trusting the God who made the universe to grow food that you can eat isn’t a problem when you live in a rich society. Trusting the God who created you from nothing to heal your cold isn’t a problem when you have a snotty nose. Trusting God to provide food when you live in a third world country that has experienced drought for years, takes a little more faith. Trusting God to heal you of cancer, through the doctors he has provided isn’t as straight forward. But people do trust God in these big situations as well as in the small situations, and they are fantastic examples to all of us. So how do we learn to trust God, like these people? How do we learn to trust God as we leave school and are worried about our future? How do we learn to trust God with our relationships at school? We learn to trust God in the same way that you learn to trust anyone. You don’t trust the new guys you meet at school or college straight away, but after some time of getting to know them you build up a level of trust. And then after a while there are some who you really begin to trust. Well you can learn to trust God in the same way. Speak to God as you go about your day at school or college. Chat with him as you walk home, about the concerns you have. The more time you spend talking to God, and the more you ask him to help you, the more you will trust him. As you spend time chatting to God you will begin to recognise him speaking back to you, and trusting what he says.
