Trusting God In A Change

I've learned something really big about trusting God in the hard times we go through. In my opinion it all is a test God is testing you to see how u will react to the that situation. Will you think of the negative or the postive or believe in him or not. Having faith in him would be something good to do in a time like that. If God puts u through something hard most likely there's a reason and we don't always know what that is. But God says if you believe in me and believe that I have the power and ability to do anyting , he knows what's best. Many times it's hard for us to understand that because all we do is think of the negative so we never see what God has in store for us what he wants us to do. I know it was so hard for my family to trust God in the time we had things just kept getting worse and we didn't know why. Sometimes I didn't know what to do I was never so positive about it. When my dad lost his job it was pretty bad but I thought things would be so simple from then on I kept praying and asking God for help. At many times I wanted to give up only because it seemed like nothing was being done. I realized something after that who would I be to give up on God after what he's done for me . He payed my ransom for what I did he has always been true to me , protected me , lead me and never gave me up on me even though I let him down. There is so many times I could think of when I let God down but he still gave effort to love me and care for me. God has inspired me in so many ways to be more like him in a way that would be pleasing. He helps me to realize not to be so quick to give up on people even when it's hard. We have to learn to be strong when we fell like letting people go and so weakness. After a while I realized I need to do what God wants me to do go we he needs me. My mom really helped me she kept telling me remember when God told Jonah to go to Ninevehand he refused. In the consequence came out of that was he was gobbled up into the belly of a whale. He was in his belly for three days and I knew if I refused like Jonah did I would be stuck in punishment also and i didn't want that to happen. I prayed to God and asked him to forgive me for being so rude they way I was I was only thinking about what I thought was best. Some how though I knew what I that was the best for wasn't God knew what was. God knew I was going to be like that and knew I would feel guilty for the way I acted. I had a dream about moving we got a paper in the mail saying we got the house. God was telling me something he was like a voice echoing saying you know what u need to do . Next thing I'm kneeling on the ground asking God to show me what it is he wants for me telling him I'll do what he says telling him I was sorry I tried to ignore what he knew what was best for me. I have to say we are so lucky to have a God who is always forgiving God forgives us even when we don't deserve it. My life is in Gods hands what ever decides it's right for me and I will follow after. :)
