Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the

word, prayers, and our heart. I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me,

which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent. It's the last day of our journey through Put

Your Warrior Boots on, and I hope it's been helpful and inspiring to you. If you haven't listened to the shows this week, go back and do that as all of the three

types of boots we're covering work together for a complete picture of walking Jesus

strong in this world that seems to have gone crazy.

I know.

Today, we're going to dive into the boots of trust, and more importantly, the active way

we trust Jesus, not just say we trust in, but actively move forward in that

in our daily lives. Let's talk about it. I'm not sure if there's a more discussed topic than

trust in Christendom. I don't care how long you've been a believer. Trust is a struggle. It seems

every single day for every single one of us. We struggle to trust God. Even Christendom. I don't care how long you've been a believer. Trust is a struggle. It seems every

single day for every single one of us. We struggle to trust God, even when we sing the songs on

Sunday that say, I trust you. We pray, God, I trust you. That's a prayer I often pray. And listen,

I think we should pray, I trust you, God, even when we don't necessarily feel like it.

Because it's a practice that over time we

develop and the goal is for our heart to engage in the way our minds know and believe we should

because God is worthy of our trust, our full trust. I don't believe God gets tired of us saying

that we trust him. He knows we're flesh and weak and struggle to trust him.

But I believe that his desire is for us to show him we trust him by the things we do.

We've got to take it to that next step.

He wants to see action behind the words and the intent.
