What would it take for me to trust God?

Yeah I trust in You
I remember times you lead me
This time is bigger now
And I'm afraid you'll let me down
But how can I be certain
Will you prove yourself again

Cause I´m about to let go
And live what I believe
I can´t do a thing now
But trust that You'll catch me
When I let Go (When let go)

What is this doubt in me
convincing me to fear the unknown
When I´m alone
You show Your plan is better than my own
And I know I won't make it
If I do this all alone

Cause I´m about to let go
And live what I believe
I can´t do a thing now
But trust that You'll catch me
When I let go

Learning to trust in The Good Shepherd

Psalm 23: 1-3 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Isaiah 40:11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

Luke 12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”

John 10: 14, 27-28 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me…. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.”

Revelations 7: 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Psalm 51

You do not delight in sacrifice, or would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 51: 16-17


I feel raw, broken open.
I long for some reassurance that God does not despise me.
Intellectually, I know that reassurance is found at the foot of the cross.
Emotionally though, I am just so in need of restoration.
How long O Lord, will I lie broken before you?

Loneliness

"Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. Lonely people often experience a subjective sense of inner emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world." Wikipedia

Is loneliness an emotional state to be avoided or is loneliness a call to live completely for God?
