Seven Benefits of ‘Trusting In The Lord’

Trusting God stands as a foundational principle in the lives of believers. The depth of our love for God and our journey alongside Him directly correlates with the strength of our trust in His guidance. Personally, trusting in the Lord has been one of my top goals since I was a teenager, and I have consistently found the promised benefits to hold true in my life’s journey.

1. Guidance and Direction: Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” Trusting God wholeheartedly means relying on Him for guidance and direction in life. He promises to lead and guide those who put their trust in Him.
2. Peace and Rest: Isaiah 26:3 declares, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You.” Trusting God with your whole heart brings a deep sense of peace and rest, knowing that He is in control and will take care of you.
3. Provision and Blessings: Psalm 37:3-5 encourages, “Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this.” Trusting God wholeheartedly involves acknowledging His provision and blessings. He promises to provide for those who trust in Him and seek His kingdom first.
4. Strength and Renewal: Isaiah 40:31 states, “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Trusting God with your whole heart grants you strength and renewal in times of difficulty and weariness.
5. Emotional Stability: Trusting in the Lord with all your heart can bring emotional stability. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises against leaning on our own understanding, implying that relying on God’s wisdom and guidance can help us navigate the ups and downs of life.
6. Protection and Deliverance: Trusting in the Lord ensures His protection and deliverance. Psalm 91:2 says, “I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” When we trust in Him, He keeps us safe and delivers us from harm.
7. Intimate Relationship with God: Trusting in the Lord with all your heart fosters a deep and intimate relationship with Him. Proverbs 3:6 encourages us to acknowledge Him in all our ways, indicating a continuous reliance on Him and a growing closeness.

These are just a few of the benefits of trusting in the Lord wholeheartedly. Trust is a foundational aspect of faith and opens the door to experiencing God’s goodness, love, and faithfulness in our lives.
