It
isn't uncommon to make decisions and then continue to live with those choices
long after they've become outdated. Restructuring obsolete decisions requires
basic trust in your ability to cope with change. When decisions are difficult, it
helps to be convinced that change is a necessity and that God will be at work to make
those changes possible.
What holds us back is mistrust. Mistrust
creates anxiety and distress along with fear of not being in control of our
lives. Proverbs 16:20 encourages us to trust in the Lord, and as we do, we are
blessed. Listen to Proverbs 29:25. "Whoever trusts in the Lord is kept
safe." Mistrust tends to doubt these words of encouragement.
Making
changes where mistrust has a stronghold is possible. Believe that God will show
you ways to build trust in graduated steps that strengthen your confidence and
assurance. God is faithful and will never put on you more than you can
tolerate. He sends help so you can change old, worn-out decisions with
confidence.
