Trust in God; trust also in Me.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." - Jesus, John 14:1

(This is one of the verses that greatly comforts me in time of trouble)

This was the time when the original disciples of Jesus were troubled by so many things. There were so many problems, uncertainties. And Jesus comforts them.

Whenever I find myself troubled in my heart, this is the verse that I keep reminding myself of. It is like God is telling us that whatever troubles our heart, whether it is a problem in academics, in family, in relationships, or sin struggle, fear, doubt, anxiety, uncertainty, weakness, or we feel like we're in the midst of wilderness or darkness, He is in control. It doesn't matter how severe or impossible we, human beings, think the problem is to solve. It doesn't matter how incapable we are to solve or even alleviate the problem. It is God who matters, His sovereignty, His ability, His willingness to help us, and His perfect plans. 

He is telling us that He is trustworthy, that we can rely on Him about everything. He is giving us a promise that He will act. We just have to have an attitude of surrender and faith. 

God loves us. Looking to what Jesus did on the cross for us, I am convinced that He cares for me greatly and I can trust in Him.
