Growing in Trust: Letting Go

Teach me, God, to place my hope and trust in You, confident that You always look after my welfare.

The resistance to letting go is usually rooted in the fear of losing control which at bottom is nothing else but the lack or absence if trust that things will work out fine. It may be a lack of trust in the inherent goodness of everyone, the wisdom of God, the perfect order of the universe, the basic worth and integrity of one's life...

Trust is a stance of freedom and openness to growth and is the very cornerstone in the foundation of a life of security and hopefulness. You can grow in trust by taking a hard look at yourself and see your essential goodness and worth and your power to depend on your own inner resources and take charge of your life. God, who helps those who help themselves, will supply what you need, and the creative universe will take its cue and support you as you deserve.

Affirmation: I am trusting and trustworthy. I attract people and conditions that support my wellbeing.
