Topic: Faith And Distrust

Distrust is a form of doubt. If we are caught up in distrust, we do not want to give over our cares and burdens to Christ. In distrust, we prevent the Holy Spirit from working in our life and in the life of those we pray for each day. In distrust, we too often try to do all things ourselves. When we distrust, we carry the burden of distrust in addition to carrying the burden of trying to do everything. The result of our distrust is carrying crushing burdens. In addition, when we carry all these crushing burdens, we can give up completely because we cannot carry the load. To make faith work in our life, we must give up our distrust and give over to Christ. To make faith work in our life, we must take a chance and let God work instead of trying to make everything work by doing all the work ourselves. Making faith work does not mean we should be lazy or irresponsible. Being responsible means we give one hundred and ten percent of our effort in all our tasks as we trust God to use us in whatever way He sees fit. In addition, in our trust, we must maintain total control over ourselves so we are always self-controlled and self-disciplined.
