* Trust is believing that something or someone will catch you if you happen to fall.
* Trust is our ability to release control of the things that we can’t control in the first place.
* Trust makes you more vulnerable, yet more capable of love and joy.
* Trust is something that can possibly deceive you, but without it you’ll be tormented.
* Trust is like a doorway that peace, hope, and faith can walk through.
* Trust is that little voice inside you that’s challenging you to take a risk.
* Trust is laying down our micromanaging mindsets to allow others to be trustworthy.
* Trust is believing you’ll see something better than what you’ve seen before.
Many believe that trust is like a vase – once broken, it can be glued back together, but it will never really be the same. And I believe that…in the natural. But I also believe and trust that there is a supernatural. That the Creator of heaven and earth can and will make all things new.
I believe that once it’s broken it can get better than just fixed – more than just repaired. Trusting allows me to see something or someone become new…again.
For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence. – Psalm 71:5
And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new” – Revelation 21:5
Love it. Trust is many things, not only just earned, but given also. Definitely. Love it, and the photos.

Growing stronger in the broken places – yep – that is God’s work – not repair but restoring. Well said

The older I get the less I trust anything or anyone other than God. And even then I don’t always trust what I think he might be saying…Pretty much, trust for me has become evasive.

Thanks for this. Very thoughtful and encouraging. Trust can be so complicated and difficult at times…. this was really good. God bless!

The problem is: how do you know the little voice inside that’s challenging you to take a risk isn’t the devil setting you up for a humongous fall? Huh? Huh?
Trust, but verify…that’s what Ronald Reagan said.
We’re supposed to be harmless as doves, yes, but also wise as serpents….

How did you know that this is exactly what I needed to read today?
Hope and trust are the words I woke up and God put on my heart this morning.

I needed this today Ryan as I’m taking a “mental health day” from my job. Lots of things there that are out of my control and are starting to get to me. Just sitting here this morning thinking about how I need to let God handle ALL of this stuff and give up the control. And then I read your blog – He speaks in many different ways – even through a blogsite called Reverb…..

When I reached my lowest point in life, and everything that I believed about my life had become a lie, I knew 2 things. I was going to be OK. I had complete trust in God. I knew He would never move, and would sustain me through it all.
2 years later: I am happier than I have ever been in memory. God has put me on higher ground.
I will always trust Him.
