This is a blog post about the phrase Jesus I trust in you. It can also be translated as "Jesus I have faith". This phrase can be found at the beginning of a prayer. We will discuss what this means and how it is used to pray for comfort, solace, or consolation.
What does it mean to have faith?
Definition
Trusting means acting on things we cannot see or prove. The word "faith" comes from Latin meaning cornerstone which derives from Greek πίστις (pístis) meaning confidence, assurance and Hebrew אמת (ʾ’amát). Typically translated as truthfulness / faithfulness / steadfastness. The Christian Bible goes far back with the mention of Abraham having faith in God when he was asked by God to sacrifice his son Isaac.
Belief vs Faith
To have faith means that a person trusts believes in and relies on a god. To have faith can also be to trust the evidence of one's senses or reasoning as the basis for accepting something as true or real. This is related to belief. Faith may include belief in an afterlife.
To believe means to accept something as true or real. And it's not a matter of belief vs faith, it is about what you believe in.
Many people get confused between the two expressions. They find themselves unable to answer when someone asks them whether they have faith or if they just believe in something. In order to be true believers, we must always engage in believing in addition to being open-minded enough to experience moments where our beliefs may change. This will lead us closer towards having a faith which means that we trust and rely on God.
The Role of Faith in the Bible
Throughout Biblical history, God encourages his followers to have faith in him and believe what he says. When Jesus was on earth, his message was first and foremost about the Kingdom of Heaven. In this context, those who had faith in him were not only acknowledging that he is the son of God. Furthermore, they committed to following what he would say as their leader for life.
The importance of faith in Christianity is emphasized throughout the Bible. For example, Jesus says "This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you". In this passage, he mentions both loving others and also having faith or believing in him. Such a belief can be seen as an act of obedience which implies trusting in God's goodness.
Faith means trusting in god's goodness. It also means giving up your own will for his glory because you love him so much. Christianity can be seen as a type of love and relationship with God - one characterized by openness, obedience, and sacrifice rather than personal desires.
Spiritual Reading
The spiritual reading about trust in Jesus can be found at the end of Matthew 6:35. It says:
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life; what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food? And is the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns yet Your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are You not much more valuable than they are?"
The idea behind this passage is that we should stop worrying so much because God cares for us. His concern for our well-being surpasses all worldly worries such as eating and drinking. We need to focus instead on what we can do for God and how to be better Christians.
To trust our Lord Jesus Christ is to have faith and hope in Him. When we trust Him, He will provide for our needs.
Jesus, I trust in you - Trusting him when things are hard
It's not easy trusting when things are hard but it doesn't come naturally either way. One of my favorite verses from scripture on trusting is Hebrews 11:13: "For those who live according to their convictions,". This means living out everything that we know truthfully and honestly - based on beliefs without double standards or hypocrisy - we can be confident that if we do so he will provide for our needs.
If you’re struggling with how to put your trust in Jesus, it may be helpful for you to pray and ask him what he wants from you. He is the only one who knows everything about us and loves us unconditionally no matter what we do or have done. Pray this prayer each day until it becomes a habit of faith-filled living: “Lord Jesus I trust in You. Amen."
How can we put our trust in Jesus and God's Love?
Putting trust in a Person can be a difficult choice. But the Scriptures are the Word of God, so we know they tell us the truth about Jesus. He fulfilled all of those prophecies by his life, death, and resurrection from the dead. He has done this to show that he really was who he claimed to be - the Messiah - Savior for everyone.
Follow Jesus
In the Bible, it's written: "I am the way; I am truth and live" (John 14:14). This means that He has given us His ways of living so that we might live rightly before God who sees everything - even our thoughts!
He also says, "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12). This means that He will show us what is right and good in everything if we live according to His teachings. Just as a flashlight does in darkness - showing which way to go so we won't fall into sin or deception on our journey through life.
Jesus has given himself for you by dying on the cross. Not because he had to but because God's great love poured out from his heart and flowed over Jesus! And this was done so that you might receive eternal life with Him forever!
Do not be afraid any longer: put your trust in Him today! Amen.
Jesus says Himself: "Whoever believes in me will do what I do; whoever follows my teachings will become like me." (John 14:12).
Build a relationship with Jesus
We can put this faith in Jesus to be with us now and always. "I have told you these things so that my joy might be in you," John 15:11. We can trust that He has done all the work for us. Our job now is to have or build a relationship with Him!
You need to be forgiven and come to Jesus. Without Him, we are lost - lonely in a cold world without meaning or purpose.
Lord Jesus, "I trust in you prayer"
Even if someone doesn't know about Jesus but they want to live righteously then just as Abraham did back when he was on earth waiting for his promised son Isaac (Hebrews 11), they ought to do what? To pray continually through asking forgiveness every time we make a mistake and through thanking Jesus for all the blessings He gives.
You can pray this way: "Jesus I trust in You; never let me lose hope because Your merciful kindness always leads others back to You. Dear Merciful Jesus, help me to pray with greater fervor. Light a holy spark in me and help me to spread Your Divine Mercy message everywhere, never shirking this duty from embarrassment or laziness. I want to do my best to carry out this devotion so that others will be enlightened about Your Divine Mercy."
Divine Mercy
God's love is limitless and available to everyone. However, since we have been shown such merciful love, in addition to having mercy on ourselves, we also show kindness to our neighbors. Putting mercy into action is not an option of the Divine Mercy devotion, it's a requirement!
Petition through Mother Mary
Also, don't forget to petition through Mother Mary.
"Most merciful Jesus, I trust in You, I trust in You, I trust in You. May I trust You always and in all things. May I daily surrender to Your Divine Mercy. Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, Pray for us as we turn to you in our need."
Prayers to the Holy Spirit and Mother Mary help us to know Jesus’ love and grow in His grace.
The Divine Mercy devotion is a way of life, not just something you do on occasion. It has become the foundation of my prayer life as I strive for union with Christ's merciful heart. My hope and prayer are that this blog will provide spiritual insights into living out the message of Divine Mercy each day through what we think about, say or do - from small daily tasks to big decisions. As I am transformed by the Holy Spirit, may these words be an encouragement to your own journey towards God's mercy!
In the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ, Mary, and Joseph! Amen
Saint Faustina
Sister Faustina was a nun and died in 1938 at the young age of 33. With the publication of her Diary of St. Faustina in 1978, the message Jesus taught her to remind the world of the depths of God's merciful love quickly spread. Next to the rosary, no other devotion is more loved and more needed today. What is so unique and special about the Chaplet of Divine Mercy? Most importantly, it is a priestly prayer that echoes the “Great Doxology” that concludes the Eucharistic Prayer of the Mass.
Confession is a gift. The sacrament of confession was a regular feature of Faustina's life as a nun. She encourages us to see it as a sacred gift to be celebrated.
Have confidence in the goodness of God. Sister Faustina often felt alone, out of place, and unequal to the task God placed before her. Her diary captured this revelation: “All grace flows from mercy, and the last hour abounds with mercy for us. Let no one doubt concerning the goodness of God; even if a person's sins were as dark as night, God's mercy is brighter than the sun.”
The devotion is not part of the essential Catholic dogma, but one can find comfort in praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at the hour of Mercy, 3:00 p.m. Also find comfort just repeating the devotional phrase over and over at times of worry or wonder: “Jesus I trust in You."
Conclusion
Trusting Jesus is a huge decision. It's important to go through the process of trusting him in order to understand what it means for your life. Jesus loves us so much that he gave his life up for our sins so we could be forgiven when we ask Him to forgive us. Prayers can help guide you on this journey!
