Do we really “trust in God”?

Personally, I have gotten through many disasters, mental and physical to myself and others, including sorrows, deaths, illnesses, and dangers, through belief in my personal guardian angel as assigned to me by God above, and as taught to me by nuns way back when I was a schoolgirl in a Catholic Convent, which has held me always in good stead, leaving me with the feeling that I never stood alone.
When I lived in Germany in the 60s and was pregnant for the first time, I felt I stood alone with no friends, no blood relations, and only a smattering of the language to assist me. I felt totally isolated and when I was told that at seven months my baby would die at birth, I almost despaired, but, through it all with the help of my guardian angel--a messenger from God--I totally immersed myself in the remaining time I had with my baby girl, talking to her, soothing her, singing to her, reading her poetry, etc., as she jumped and bumped and her little heart was still beating. Consequently, at nine months, when she died at birth, I was resigned to it that it was God's will and meant to be, because, as it turned out, she was a Thalidomide baby and would not have lived a full life.
God is the perfect judge, is always willing to listen, and will take into account everything and all problems that you have.
Thank you very much for sharing your story and offering support. I’m so sorry for your loss and understand your reason for sharing it.
Do you have a regular fellowship you belong to even while doing this Covid virus?

Our province is presently in code red mode and has been for some time now. I do have a close fellowship line as needed and I feel and know that in spite of being an Octogenarian, I am healthy mentally and physically thanks be to God. Thank you for asking.
Our province is in code red mode also. We’ve had over 4,000 cases recently. I had to research Octogenarian but I’ve had to look up a few words in this thread. That’s quite impressive.
Im glad God is giving you health and longevity both mentally and physically. One can’t really ask for more . Have a lovely day Rose. It’s been nice chatting with you.

If 'God' gives someone good health, why does he let so many others suffer and die?
Believe God knows "all the little things" that go into our make up. Can you "change your thinking and eliminate the poisons"?
When I meditate, if a thought keeps coming round and round... well, I developed a mental image of wrapping it in brown butcher paper, and dropping it over a waterfall. Its gone, then.
God knows us and the "try" is counted as righteousness.
Often if I get too involved with something, I mentally stand back and just watch myself go by.
Also saying the words to yourself "I am" helps connect with your higher self. There is so much beauty in the higher world. Know that this world is a shadow of the higher spiritual world. Of course hand your fears over to Father/Mother God. If we only truly knew how much we were loved!
I could give you my opinion, but don't think you would like it. So, why not ask God yourself and watch your dreams and synchronicity to give you the personal answer in a way you can accept.
I’d actually like to know your answer @Liberty , your opinion on this subject

I think a similar question has already been asked on this thread, and possible answers, where there are answers, (not all questions have answers of course!).
My two pennyworth on the thread topic, is sort of miracles can happen in each and every one of our lives, certainly if we wish to accept simple things as minor miracles. We can go to bed with a problem on our minds, or a decision to make, and wake up in the morning and feel differently, so the problem doesn't seem so big, or we've arrived at a firm decision on what was previously imponderable.
People have mental breakdowns, and get locked into a negative or downward spiral they feel they'll never come out of again, and somehow they do, this feels like a miracle, and can't be completely understood.
Finally the creation of a child is a miracle isn't it in a way, where we might have played a part making ourselves, and them unique to one another, (my late mother in law used to speak of this)!

Yeah, me too, got me curious
Hi Liberty,
I’m doing as much as possible to change my thoughts including CBT. I’m reading scriptures from the bible, reading through all my spiritual books, and listening to helpful audios, podcasts and videos. Louse Hays affirmations uses I AM often. For a while I was using Wayne dyers morning and evening mediations but they were making me cry too much and I’m not sure why. Lol.
Just the fact that I’m believing so intensely in fear should be enough of an indicator that I’m on the wrong path since fear is ALL ego induced which separates me. I think that a basic long based unhealthy belief about myself has suffered along with some fearful foresight. From what I’ve read about old unhealthy beliefs is that they have deep grooves, like huge tire tracks so even when trying to change a belief it wants to slip back into those old grooves. NLP
The silent witness helps a lot as well as pulling back to see the bigger picture and adding space between thoughts and self.
Fear and negative thoughts are a lower frequency so are differently NOT part of the higher self. I think my main problem is that I’m emotionally over invested in this problem of self.
When I take my medication and realize that I AM part of divinity ; part of humanity as a whole, I settle down.
Thanks Liberty. You’ve helped me confirm that I am the right right track. It just needs some more time, practice and faith.
I like this thread.
I once, many years ago ask God the same thing. The answers I got back were incredible to say the least, in a way that really got my attention. Send me a note on the start conversation personal mail and I'd be glad to as best I can, relate this. Best not to take up this forum space when others are discussing the main thread here.
Because human souls need to go through all experiences, pleasant and unpleasant. This is why we live several lives, and each one is different.
I'd take advantage of those beautiful nature relaxing music you-tubes. Relax and let your energy raise.Hi Liberty,

Fear has no power except what you give it, of course. By watching your thoughts you are practicing faith and you will grow so strong.Try laughing at yourself, too. For me, that's real easy to do...just have to look in the mirror!
I don’t understand anyone’s claim that JC was killed by the Jewish people. JC was arrested and taken to Caiaphas, a high Jewish priest. Caiaphas, without the backing of Sanhedrin (the Jewish council) could not order the death of JC.
He turned JC over to the Roman authority, and Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. I won’t go through the whole story, it’s well known. Pilate orders JC”s death by crucifixion. He was killed by the Roman. The Romans were not Jewish. The Apostles were not present at Golgotha and did not witness His death.
Present were “Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Younger”, according to National Geography magazine Jesus and the Origins of Christianity and the Bible book of Mark 14:18.
This magazine, which I have not read in full yet, as I just bought it. It speaks to that fact that both Gentiles and Jews were followers of JC; and that followers of Christ were expected, by the Apostles, to becomes Jewish. But Paul disagreed.
Anyway, read the magazine if you are interested.

I’d got a solitudes channel that I listen to mostly since I don’t watch much TV and I just love it. It’ plays the Loons over the Great Lakes and Thunderstorms which bring back such great memories of when I used to listen to my cassettes.
Laughter is something I did all the time and am good at it.
LOL. Thanks again for the help and I apologize for monopolizing the thread some but certainly won’t feel bad about it

Ok, gotta go now, but will tomorrow!I started the thread, I’m the OP,
After the crucifixion, the family and followers of Jesus were hunted down. They had to flee the country. Most of the mediterranean countries were occupied by the Romans and yet the apostles were allowed to travel freely and preach the new teaching. That wouldn't have been possible if they were considered enemies of the state.
No, Jesus was executed by the Jewish religious leaders, the Sanhedrin.
We agree to disagree

The topic of this fascinating post is ; “Do we really “trust in God”? What would happen if the topic was rephrased to “Do I really trust in God”?
I do not know, why don’t you start that one, this one certainly went off course
I guess I'll save my input for the new thread, then?I do not know, why don’t you start that one, this one certainly went off course
