Scriptures from Sunday’s service, part 4 of the Uncomfortable Series.
What You Receive When You Trust God
in Uncomfortable times
1. LOVE
Romans 5:8
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 8:38–39
“For I am sure that neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
1 John 4:16
“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.”
When you trust God, you discover that His love isn’t based on your performance—it is rooted in who He is.
2. FORGIVENESS
1 John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Isaiah 1:18
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow…”
Psalm 32:1
“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”
When you trust Christ with your sin, you don’t have to keep carrying what God has already forgiven.
3. REDEMPTION
Ephesians 1:7
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of his grace.”
Psalm 34:22
“The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.”
Galatians 3:13
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us…”
God doesn’t just forgive your past—He redeems your story and gives your life new purpose.
4. HEALING
Psalm 103:2–3
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases.”
Got to trust that God is working all things for your good.
Jeremiah 17:14
“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.”
When you trust God, you learn to bring your brokenness to the One who is able to restore you.
5. CALLING
Proverbs 3:5–6
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Ephesians 2:10
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
2 Timothy 1:9
“Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace…”
Trusting God means surrendering our plans so we can discover His purpose.
6. ANOINTING
2 Corinthians 1:21–22
“And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”
1 John 2:20
“But you have been anointed by the Holy One...”
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Trusting God positions us to walk not merely in our ability, but in the power of His Spirit.
7. CLEAR MIND
Isaiah 26:3
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
This scripture directly connects trusting God with the condition of your mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
Philippians 4:6–7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things…. and the God of peace will be with you.”
When you stop trusting your own understanding and start trusting God, His peace begins to govern your mind.
8. FREEDOM
John 8:36
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
2 Corinthians 3:17
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Galatians 5:1
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
Trusting God means you don’t have to remain a slave to the things Jesus died to set you free from.
When I trust God…
1. I experience LOVE — God establishes my identity.
2. I receive FORGIVENESS — God deals with my past.
3. I am REDEEMED — God gives my story purpose.
4. I receive HEALING — God restores what is broken.
5. I discover my CALLING — God shows me why I’m here.
6. I receive ANOINTING — God empowers my calling.
7. I receive a CLEAR MIND — God brings peace to my thoughts.
8. I walk in FREEDOM — God breaks what has held me captive.
“When I stop trusting myself and start trusting God, He begins love what I thought was unlovable, forgive what condemned me, redeem what I thought was wasted, heal what hurt me, reveal why He called me, anoint what He called me to do, clear what was confused, and free what was bound.”
