Merciful Jesus reminds me to pray for the pool souls.
Can we trust God unconditionally no matter what?

What does it mean to trust God? God answers all prayers of petition in His way in His time. This is not new information. You reading this are familiar with this truth of faith. We know that God answers our prayers for our benefit though we may not see it or understand. Such as how is suffering for our benefit? It’s impossible for anyone to explain the mind of God but think about this. Can we trust God unconditionally no matter what? Dare we say, “No I will not trust God! God did not answer my prayer!” If we truly believe that God exists. If we accept that God created us out of his great love for us then the idea and act of not trusting God is absurd. No one can understand God’s ways but if we lack trust in God then our belief in God is not as firm as it ought to be. This is logical even in our limited understanding of God as the Supreme Being who rules over heaven and earth. God in His complete perfection does not make mistakes.
My prayer for unconditional love and trust in God.
“Dear Lord, Sometimes I’m filled with loving delight for my Creator as my prayer is clearly and obviously answered and other times I pray and pray and pray in desperation and confusion as my prayer seems to go unanswered. Father, help me to stay firm in my faith and trust You unconditionally. Help me to accept the good and the bad, the joy and sorrow equally while praising and thanking You my God.”
This prayer is helpful to me. Now when I say a prayer of petition, I remember to thank God ahead. It’s easy to remember to thank God when we see our prayer being answered, but we usually will not remember to thank God if our prayer isn’t answered in a way we can understand. So it’s best to thank God in advance.

About the Author
Years ago, I suffered from severe anxiety and had many worries. I suffered and was distant from God for almost two years. Finally, I accepted the grace God had been giving me. Jesus loves me unconditionally. I need to love Him unconditionally as well. Jesus and I made a covenant a few years ago when I accepted Him back into my life. I made a promise never lose sight of Jesus again, to keep Him in my life forever. Jesus to help me keep my promises by giving me reminders. Now I’m happy. I understand that every challenge God placed in my path has been for my benefit. There are no obstacles in my path to heaven, unless I choose to take what God gives me and turn it into an obstacle. And though I’m not completely where I need be in trusting Providence and in doing God’s will, this is my life goal. Everything makes sense with God. I desire to share the joy I have in knowing Jesus with others.
