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
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 Faith—Talk 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.
