"A Troubled Heart"

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."  John 14:1

 

What causes our hearts to become troubled?  Is it trials and tribulations?  Is it bad news or a bad report?  Is it problems and cares that arise?  Do the difficulties we face in life cause it to become troubled?  All these are factors, but the main reason our hearts become troubled is because we stop "believing in God and also in Me". 

 

Our hearts become troubled when we stop believing that God is Who He is--- great, powerful, strong and able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think.  Our hearts become troubled when we stop believing that He loves us and cares about what is happening to us.  Our hearts become troubled when we don't believe His Word and promises. Our hearts become troubled when we don't believe that He is faithful to do what He says He will do.  Our hearts become troubled when we stop believing that He is for us, He is on our side, He is with us and He will never leave us. 

 

Is your heart troubled today?  Perhaps you are facing a difficulty that is troubling.  Is this troubling thing troubling you because you have stop "believing in Him"?  Have you stopped believing that He is your helper, your hope, your provider, your deliverer, your healer, the lover of your soul, your friend who sticks closer than a brother, your God?

Check your heart to see what is the root cause of your troubled heart--- it often goes a lot deeper than just the troubling situation.

 

Have a great day.  The cause and answer to a troubled heart is found in your belief and faith in the Lord.
