Learning to Trust God Introduction
Christians must learn to trust in God:
Christianity is a learning process.
Time, experience, prayer, fasting, study of the word, obedience to the word,
and willingness help us to unravel the years of our flesh training us.
All our natural instincts: our flesh, our will, our ways, and our thoughts are
opposite to Gods ways and will. The Bible shows us examples of people trusting
in God and God bringing them through in miraculous ways. But when it comes down to our circumstances, we
look for ways that we can solve our problems of our own accord, when we need to
look to Jesus the Author and finisher of our faith.
In this study, we will learn how to completely put our trust in God. We will be able to say and mean, "Thy will be done."

Key
Scripture:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto

God has given us three commands in this passage of
scripture:

Trust in the Lord will all thine
heart
2.
Lean not unto thine own
understanding

knowledge, his will, his way, to seek his wisdom. (What Would Jesus Do?)(What
does the Bible say?)

Supporting
Scriptures:
Jeremiah
29:11-14 (KJV)
11)
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you, saith the Lord, thought of peace, and not
of evil, to give you an expected end.
12)
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will
hearken unto you.
13)
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your
heart.
14)
And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your
captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places
whither I have driven you again into the place whence I caused you to be
carried away captive.
The bible teaches us Jesus is the same yesterday, today
and forever.
As we journey through the scriptures, we will be able to
read and study the lives of various people in the bible. Where we will learn how God brought
deliverance to them through TRUST. You
will also learn that there is always an answer to your questions, in the Word of
God. You must study and search the scriptures to find the answers you need for
your life.
Hebrews 13:7-9
King James Version (KJV)
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
- Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth.
- Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
1 Peter 5:6-7
King James Version (KJV)
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
