Do you read the Word of God sufficiently? If you read the Word and learn to trust in God's promises, you will not fear about trusting the wrong God or the wrong thing. When one believes on Jesus Christ as their own personal Savior, one also has the indwelling Holy Spirit....who can give us inward discernment about things, too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I've been there. It's not a nice place to be in. But what I realised is that God's grace is sufficient for me. He helps me to put my trust in the right place.. And it begins with the Word of God. Jesus died and rose again. when I focused on on his Word, I stopped being afraid that I might miss him. Place your trust in Jesus and keep reading the word. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESUS IS GOD. Have you trusted Him for eternal life? This is the beginning of a trust relationship with the God of light! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but what does this mean? God is not a ' good light ', . God is pure holiness and we are totally sinful and only able to worship God because of God's mercy, grace and love. Read Romans 8:28 All things work together for good for those who are called according to God's purpose. Trusting God literally means accepting what happens in life is from God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know with the pandemic it may be a difficult time to seek out a bible teaching church. For quick references you might want to try the website www.gotquestions.org Some of my favorite pastors to listen to are: Ravi Zacharias ( he died not too long ago, but his teachings are on you tube), Francis Chan. My husband enjoys Max Lucado. Beware of any preachers that promise that life will be easy. Read John 16: 31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” So even the disciples who spent much time with Jesus did not at first trust Him. BUT, when Jesus resurrected and appeared to them and then to over 500 + people at one time they trusted. The resurrected Jesus ate and spent with them. He was not a ghost. He ate. John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Believe really means trust. Trust in what Jesus/ the bible says is true. Do not make up your own rules because the bible tells us that we cannot even trust our own desires because we are selfish and do not understand what is best for us sometimes. Read the book of John first. Then James and 1 Peter, 2 Peter. Please ask questions. And Pray for wisdom. God will give wisdom when you ask. It is a promise. But you must be still and listen. Blessings to you Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
