Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.”
Trusting God shares similarities with mental toughness. They’re both glamorous to talk about, yet challenging to initially activate.
As a 16 yr old, I let God know He messed up. Now, I seek, trust, & praise Him even amidst tragedy. Talk’s cheap in both.
Both are strengthened by (a partial list):
Practice & experience.
Loving Jesus Christ & His people.
Great coaches & Christ-centered mentors.
Success stories thru listening & learning.
Knowing God & the Bible.

Meditate on past victories.
Recognizing that God’s wisdom far exceeds our own wisdom.
Pride opposes trusting God.

Reflect on 2020 & meditate on where God picked you up, kept you up, & carried you forward.
Trust & praise God!
