Trust in God, He never changes.

"I’m letting go of the life I planned for me & my dreams, Losing control Of my destiny,
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go.
This is a giant leap of faith, Trusting and trying to embrace." Francesca Battistelli.


Proverbs 3:5 says: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.”

Take a moment and ask your child what the word trust means to them? Maybe even consider how trusting you, yourself are.


According to the web, Trust means:

  • have confidence or faith in.
  • allow without fear
  • reliance
  • believe: be confident about something.
  • faith.

Which is why those lyrics stood out so brightly to me.
"Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe". When we put in our faith in God, we let go of our own wants and trust in Him.

"Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.”

Isaiah 40:31

Trusting strengthens us by removing the need to question or worry. Knowing that our perfect God has everything under control allows us to step confidently forward in faith.'


Trust is essential for children’s emotional, social, and spiritual development. Early experiences with parents and the church help shape children’s views of God. When kids feel safe and loved, they can trust that God loves them, too.

To help your children build their trust in other people and in God, offer them:


Trustworthy Relationships—Children need to learn to trust other adults. Expose kids to nurturing people, from grandparents to church nursery staff. Keep your promises.

Trustworthy EnvironmentsSafe, engaging surroundings allow children to trust that they’re taken care of. But the most important environmental aspects aren’t things; they’re the people who offer kids consistency and comfort.

Trustworthy FaithTalk openly with children about God and why we can trust him. Through your daily example as a Christian, you empower children to trust in a God who’s perfect and who loves them perfectly.
