Trust God

My current favorite scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6 — “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Trust Him. Another father whose son also died by suicide several years ago pointed out that this scripture doesn’t say to trust Him with the part of my heart that I understand. I need to trust Him with everything I don’t understand, which is a lot for me right now — and I’m betting there’s a lot of that right now for you folks, also.

The Book of Mormon prophet, Alma, taught his son, Helaman, “…I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.” (Alma 36:3)

For the past several weeks, I have been reading these scriptures aloud every morning and then will say aloud,”I believe that!” I DO believe that — with all my heart!
I am reminded often that I have a Father in Heaven who knows me and who loves me perfectly. I love Him. I trust Him!
