Trust

If you have ready many of my posts on this blog, you probably know that one of the things I am worst about is worrying. I have done numerous posts about doubt, worry, fear, etc., but I realized that dwelling on the negative things wasn't the best way to stop worrying. I need to focus on the positive things. So the opposite of worry is trust. Trusting in God for anything and everything and taking all your worries and fears to Him.
So, as I start high school tomorrow, I will be meditating on all these verses about trust.

*"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6

*“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD."
Jeremiah 17:7

*"Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid."
Isaiah 12:2

*"I will love You, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies."
Psalm 18:1-3

*"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
In God... I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?"
Psalm 56:3

*"Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." Psalm 62:8
