CHOOSE LOVE - Episode 52 - Lies That Undermine Trust

There are 10 typical lies we tend to believe that directly impact our ability to trust God with every aspect of our hearts and lives. Did you know that we will never really rely on and partner with someone we don't trust? If the goal is to partner with God in all things, knowing that He is our best source of wisdom and knowledge, then we must intentionally destroy the lies that we have believed that undermine trust. I TRUST YOU: Truth Statement I will not allow my trust in You to be stolen anymore. I understand that the reality of who You are, is not limited to circumstances and situations I have been through or will go through or will watch others go through. I know You are good because You showed me through Jesus. I can taste and see that You are good in the spirit realm, which is more real than my perceptions in this earthly realm. I am not alone and never have been, even when I felt like I was. You are good even when I don’t feel like You are. You are good even if I can’t see it at the moment or in past memories, therefore I will trust You. I am ok with the contradiction and mystery that is a part of my relationship with You. I still want to be close to You. Because I can trust You, I want to be near You and I want You near me. Because I trust You, I feel comfortable in Your presence and I can be myself and easily express what I am feeling when I am with You. I trust You and therefore I will go to You often as the Source of everything I need. I am ok with being utterly dependent on You. Because You are good I can interact with You easily and confidently. I can put my confidence in You no matter what my perceptions of You have been. I want Your influence in everything I do, in all that I am, and in every choice I make. Even when I cannot see or understand where and what You are doing, I trust Your character and nature, Your motives, and Your abilities, more than I do my own. I give You complete access to all that I have and do because Your ways are better than mine. What’s mine, is Yours. I can rejoice over what I see You doing with others because I trust what You are doing with me and all that concerns me. I don’t need to feel overwhelmed because I am not alone and I don’t carry my responsibilities or concerns alone. I can be full of joy because You are using everything in my life that I have been through and will go through to work together for my good. My good is to know Your true heart towards me and to grow in the knowledge of who You really are, not who I have assumed You are. I can trust You because You are good. My body can let go of the physical symptoms I have had from not being able to trust You because I have now resolved that it is ok for me to trust You. I give myself permission to pursue true deep intimacy with You because I trust You. All You have ever wanted was intimacy with me — for me to know You like You know me. I will know You every day, through every situation. I am growing in the knowledge of You and intimacy with You and nothing can ever take that away, so whatever I am going through is worth it! I live... to know the real You, to make the real You known, to learn to be loved by You, and to learn to love like You.
