10 Signs You're Not Trusting God

According to Chuck Swindoll, they are:

1. When you choose to worry, you do not trust.

2. When you try to fix what's impossible, you do not trust.

3. When you hurry ahead and don't wait for the Lord to move, you do not trust.

4. When you lie awake tossing and turning at night, you do not trust.

5. When you doubt biblical principles and promises that are right there in the book you love to study, you do not trust.

6. When you turn to others first for help, you do not trust.

7. When you listen to human counsel and give a higher priority to that, you do not trust.

8. When you manipulate and maneuver situations, you do not trust.

9. When you step in and take charge without prayer and being led by the Spirit, you do not trust.

10. When you cling to others in order to feel secure and needed and loved, you do not trust.

I've been guilty of every one of these. 

Corrie ten Boom once said, "If a care is too small to be turned into a prayer, it's too small to be made into a burden." 

Maybe memorizing Prov. 3:5a will help. "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind." 

To do this is not an easy choice. But it's a choice God demands we make.
