Have faith in God as children have faith in their fathers. It can be hard, but it's worth it.
Trusting God is like climbing up a mountainside and not noticing how amazing the view is until you reach the top.
The climb may be bumpy and rough, and you may encounter slips, scrapes, and falls, but once you get to the top you will see it was worth it.
When climbing up a mountain you can be so consumed with the struggle on the way up you don't notice what's waiting for you on top. However, with God, once you get to the top, you'll find and have His strength, His peace, His joy, His grace, His mercy, and His love.
"Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don't depend on your own understanding; in all that you do acknowledge God and He'll give you direction"— Proverbs 3:5-6.
For many of us, trusting God is difficult, especially if you have deep-seated trust issues. Therefore, entrusting God with our lives and everything that it entails is something some people are reluctant to do. However God promises if we seek him he will take care of all our affairs (Matthew 6:33).
God will manage every aspect of your life, and your needs and wants will be taken care of (Psalm 37:4). He promised to fulfill and satisfy all your needs from His abundant wealth, bestowed upon us through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
When we involve God, life becomes simpler (Proverbs 3:6; 3 John 2).
Childlike trust.
Trust God like children trusts their father's.
One day, a child called out to their father seeking assistance. The child's persistent cries of "daddy, daddy..." reflected their trust that their father was attentive and capable of providing help for any situation.
Just like the child who has no doubt about their father's abilities—they're confident, sure, and believes in their heart that when they call out to their father, he will hear them and provide for their needs, this is the kind of faith we should have in our heavenly Father.
Children feel secure when they are with their parents, allowing them to be worry-free and carefree. They happily explore, satisfy their curiosity, and have fun while following their parents. It's this level of trust that we should aim to have with our heavenly Father.
However, when a child notices that their parent is not present, they become frightened, anxious, and start crying. Nevertheless, God has promised that He will never abandon or desert you (Deuteronomy 31:6, 1 Chronicles 28:20).
While a child can easily get lost in a crowd and the parent may not know their whereabouts, God always keeps a watchful and protective eye on you (Psalm 32:8, Psalm 33:18).
By putting your faith and confidence in God's steadfast love, you are assured of being protected by Him.
It is God's desire for us to know His identity. He desires for you to watch and experience the things He will do for us, as long as we have faith in Him.
Keep in mind that God is at the highest level of power, which is why there is nothing too difficult for Him to do (Jeremiah 32:27).
“Be still and know that I am God”—Psalm 46:10.
Trust is the starting point for God to help you in any situation, and building this trust is something you’ll have to do on purpose and with intent until it becomes easy for you to do it.
Every challenge in life that makes you doubt God actually leads you to depend entirely on your faith in Him. Reflecting on the obstacles that were meant to hold you back, but seeing how God helped you overcome them, serves as evidence of His abilities.
Having faith in God without doubting Him will demonstrate in your life that He is trustworthy.
Enhance your faith by forming a bond with God through prayer and studying the Bible; these will be the most meaningful experiences you will have.

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will come to live inside you. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, and He will live in your heart where you and Him become one and have a relationship.
All you have to do is make the choice of salvation by repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus into your life by confessing that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that He came from Heaven to die for your sins (Romans 10:9).
Here's a prayer you can repeat:
"Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe you died and was risen for my sins. I repent and ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior. Come into my heart and remove my sins. Thank you for forgiving me and making me into a new person in Jesus' name, Amen."
Once you have done this, please pray and ask God to guide you to a ministry where you can grow and start living the abundant life Jesus promised and died for.
