Ep 11 - Why is it hard to trust God?
What if the challenges in life were not roadblocks but stepping stones towards a deeper faith? Join us on the Unfiltered Christian Podcast as we explore the intricate journey of placing trust in God amidst life's tumultuous storms. Starting with heartfelt gratitude to our listeners worldwide, we unravel the complexities of relying on Yahweh when the world seems to push us away from faith. We break down the misconception that spirituality is a restrictive path, delving into personal stories and biblical inspiration to illuminate the liberating power of trust.
In the heart of adversity, where rejection and financial strain often prevail, we uncover the strength found in unwavering faith. Through intimate conversations and reflections, we share our own experiences and draw on the profound tale of Job, emphasizing how perseverance through hardship can be a divine test leading to spiritual growth. Together, we acknowledge the struggle between worldly habits and spiritual commitments, encouraging listeners to rise above negativity and external judgments to find their unique path to joy and purpose.
A touching personal narrative of healing unfolds as we recount faith's role in overcoming a challenging medical ordeal. Despite apprehensions towards medical interventions, faith in Elohim and the compassionate care of professionals guided us through healing and recovery. Ending with a powerful prayer, we offer solace and encouragement to those facing life's trials, reminding you that current challenges can forge testimonies of hope and resilience. Our stories are shared not just to inspire but to support and remind you of the unfaltering presence and guidance of the Lord in your journey.

Speaker 1:That's amazing. That list was long, I wasn't ready yeah, I know it's powerful right it is amazing, wow. Well, yeah, all praises.
Speaker 2:So this week is my question to Shay um, and it's nice and easy, because normally I'll be throwing her some questions honestly so my question to you is why is it so hard at times to trust in Yahweh?
Speaker 1:oh, that is a good question. Simple but very good question. Wow, that is not a simple question in the sense of like the answer. Sorry, that's not a simple answer. I feel like it can be many different reasons and when I say this, it's like pertaining to myself as well as others. I feel like the oh, my mind just switched up what I was gonna say. I feel like it's the world, the way the world has conditioned our mind.
Speaker 1:Um, let's think about trust here. It's hard enough to trust other people much as to trust something or someone that you cannot see. Um, I think that's a big part of it for a lot of people. They cannot see him, so why should they trust him? Um, or it could be because of hurt. You know, I lost my mom and my dad, I lost my sister. Like, how can they actually be a god? They can't be, because why would he allow this to happen? Um, that's some other people like, some people have that mindset. Um, it could be. It could be that at one point you started to trust him and then you got hurt and then you stopped trusting him because you're like no, this Elohim can't be real. Like, why would he allow this to happen to me.
Speaker 1:It's really tough to give a specific answer, because I feel like everyone has their own reason towards why they find it so hard, has their own reason towards why they find it so hard, but I feel like I feel like for me, the number one thing is the fact that, because you can't see him, and I feel like a lot of people need to know answers to questions now, and that's why I say the world, the way the world, has conditioned our mind. There is no room for mystery, there's no room for faith, there's no room for trust, there's no room for waiting. Everything is handed to you, everything is now, everything is today, this second, this minute. So now, with having a relationship with Elohim, there's waiting, there is trusting, there's faith in the things that cannot be seen. There is, there's all these things that does doesn't like calculate or correlate with the way that the world runs. So, as a human, you're like, nah, I can't do that, you know Like, this don't work for me and that's it.
Speaker 1:And the other thing is, is like everybody, the whole thing of like needing to know what's going to happen next, because I was watching something about well, it was just a show. I was watching one of my programs, but this woman was getting married and basically she started freaking out like because everyone freaks out before they get married but her thing that made me think about it from a Christian point of view was like how do I know this is going to work? Like I need to know it's going to work or else I can't do it. And I feel like that's a mindset that a lot of us have towards why we cannot believe. And as a child of Elohim, you can't be that way and I feel like that's what's hard.
Speaker 1:Another thing is the quote unquote rules. Nobody wants guidance, nobody wants to be under I don't even know what is the word I want to have here Discipline. Nobody wants discipline. We want to discipline our children, we want to make other people listen to us, but us ourselves, we don't want to listen. We don't want to listen. We just feel like, oh, you know what? What kind of God is this that wants to tell me what to do and I can't do this and I can't do that. And then another thing is oh, this sounds boring, I don't want to do this. This sounds boring. Like what kind of life is this?
Speaker 1:Or like people would choose to trust him, quote unquote trust him because I don't feel like you fully trust him with what I've got to say. You him, quote unquote trust him because I don't feel like you fully trust him with what I've got to say. You would choose to believe in him, but you still want to live your own life, you still want to do things of the world, um, and that's it like, oh, I trust him, but he never said I can't have fun. He never said I can't be like whatever. So of course, I can still drink and I can still do this and do that, because there's wine in the Bible.
Speaker 1:Everyone wants to make up their own rules. Everybody wants to do what they want to do. They don't actually want to listen to what Elohim says to do. So I feel like that's why I've mentioned so many different things, but I feel like for me, these are the many reasons towards why people struggle, or we struggle. I'm going to say people, because it's we all do go through a trusting phase or process when it comes to our relationship with Elohim, and I feel like that could be a lot of the reasons why we struggle with trusting him okay, so I have another question, then Just to give an example, your electric bill is like sky high and you know you don't know where the money is going to come from.
Speaker 2:And you know one of your cousins just sends you money out of the blue. That happens in january. You give praises, hallelujah, and in august another bill comes. But where's that faith, where's the trust gone? Why do you feel that we panic and there is no cousin? That letter is coming.
Speaker 1:I'm thinking about myself here in answering this, because I know what that's like to, because that's me go from he's delivered you from this and it's happened again and then you've lost trust in you've lost that trust in believing that he's going to deliver you again. I feel like it's us, it's probably the emotion, I guess, in the moment, in that emotion trusting more in that emotion than remembering to trust in our Father in heaven. You know, we're not supposed to trust our emotions and that's what we do. We lean upon that, like we just we see what's in front of us and once again I feel like it's the unseen, it's the unknowing, it's knowing that it's like you can't trust in the unknown. I feel like that's where that, that's where it disappears, because you're like, oh yeah, that happened at that time, what about now? Like your mind can't reflect back on that and be like, oh my gosh, yeah, he did it, so he's going to do it again. Like it's, it plays with you.
Speaker 1:So I'm trying to avoid not just saying the devil straight, because it's not always the devil. I'm not saying he's not a contributory factor, if I said that correctly. I'm not saying he doesn't contribute to this, but I'm trying to avoid saying that, because a lot of the time it's us and self-sabotage and we're the ones putting things in our head. It's not always him, but it could be a test in time. You know there's a test there. You know he, like God, didn't necessarily send you the test, but he wants to see are you going to trust him in this moment? Again, it's a building. It's a time to build your relationship with him. That's something that will help you to build your relationship with him in those dark, deepest moments. Those are the moments where you have to reach in and search for all of that, those other times that you had that joy and all those other times that you had this amazing time with him praying. That's the times when you need to need to dig for those moments again, in that pit of despair and worry and I don't know what's going to happen and what. That's the time but we struggle with, like I think it's human nature as well that takes over. That takes over before our spiritual nature. That should come first, our trust in nature, our Christian mindset that takes over before everything else.
Speaker 1:I can't give one answer to words why, why do we not just trust him like I don't even know. At times, I'm just thinking about all the things that I may do towards why in that moment, um, but yeah, like, I feel like that's, I don't know. I feel like, for me personally, it's my emotion that takes over. Instead of allowing Elohim to take over and take control of the situation, and instead of giving it up to him as well, um, I'm leaning on self. Yeah, I think I finally got into what I'm trying to say. You're leaning on yourself, you're turning to self. You're forgetting that you're not in charge. It's not about you, it's about our saviour. He is the one that you turn to to fix this situation. I think that's where we lack in trust. That's where we struggle. Yeah, I've said a lot. Yeah, I've said a lot. That was a bit much. Should have stopped me from talking. It's too much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was listening um yeah.
Speaker 2:I was listening because I thought about this question to myself and my mind goes wild sometimes and I'm thinking Very, very wild Sometimes. I don't think it's not that we trust Yahweh. I feel it's what you were saying about self. We believe that he's going to provide, he's going to come through it, no matter how long it takes, depending on the situation that we're going through. No matter how long it takes, depending on the situation that we're going through, I feel like sometimes our conscience will come in or people around us might chime in. So let's use, let's go for a job interview, because we're always talking about money. So let's go for a job interview and, um, you know you're applying and you're you're applying for. You're applying for a job that you've got some of the qualities for, but you don't necessarily have the experience and you prayed about it. You're going for it.
Speaker 2:You believe, you have faith. You might tell somebody like, oh, I'm applying for I don't know, I'm trying to think I am a sales assistant, but I'm applying for a HR assistant job, but I'm coming from working in H&M and I'm about to cross over to HR, where I have no skills, but I'm thought let me go for a system. So you believe, because you're thinking I can see my skills and my strengths in certain things and I'm gonna push forward and present it in the interview. Then you might have Bob, which is your friend, that comes around and say like oh, what you doing be like I'm applying for a HR position. Oh, you don't have experience in that, you only work in sales. Don't let that deter you, no matter what you're going through, because of what Bob has said. Bob may have planted a seed, but don't water it.
Speaker 1:That's deep.
Speaker 2:Because you've already planted your seed with our heavenly father. What I'm talking from experience. Every job that I have gone into I've had no experience in. I've had people tell me that I'm not going to get that job because of X, y, z. But I didn't listen and sometimes you might think, oh, you might hear that little voice come in, shut it down because we serve a bigger person.
Speaker 2:And sometimes you might not get that job, you might not get that bill paid. Person, and sometimes you might not get that job, you might not get that bill paid, you might not whatever that you want. It might not be the right time, but let me tell you I've been in debt. Shake and say that, I've been where I graduated from uni and you take out overdraft and now you've got an interest and interest and I didn't see how all I'm seeing is like one grand, two grand, three grand, five grand. I am not making money. I am getting rejection after rejection, but I've cleared it rejection after rejection but I've cleared it, amen and my uncle, who was Muslim, who is he's still Muslim.
Speaker 2:I remember me being a Christian and him being Muslim. He was just like he will provide. This is just the time now. This is your waiting time, this is your testing period, and I just kept pushing and pushing, and applying and applying. And yeah, rejection is hard, but it's about keeping that trust.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I think it's really good sometimes to have a testimony book, or I know that we live in a new age where everything is written in notes, but I think sometimes we forget where he has brought us and when you. I used to have one when I was like in my 20s and I was reading it the other day and I was just like wow, like I forgot about these things.
Speaker 1:I've still got one, I just forget to write in it. Yeah, I've got one. I still got a written one because I like it.
Speaker 1:It's just long sometimes to write all up but, yeah, these things are long and we can't be bothered, but when, like seven, six years from now, when we're going through certain stuff, we're always meant to open it up, we'll remember how big he is yeah, it's good to write in it and also I would say just to chime in a little bit, as you're writing, you actually reflect back on the testimony and it brings back that joy again, because even writing it is lovely. But yeah, go on.
Speaker 2:And I just find that sometimes you just got to put down the negativity, the self, whatever people has told you about yourself, especially when you've been made anew with the lord yeah just, it's not easy.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying that it's going to happen overnight, but these things do happen and it's about when you're faced with them to shut it down, like even when Jesus was tested. He said get behind me, satan. Um. So if the lord's son could be tested we are his children, we are going to be tested as well, and when we are hit with those you're not good. That bill, that debt you're about to be homeless, that medical condition that has come out of anywhere there's so much stuff that we're hit with. Yeah, definitely Say to Satan this is for the now. My father will never leave me nor forsake me, and no matter how bad it gets. Look at the story of job and for those who's never heard about it, it's a book in the bible. Um, read it. I'm not getting into it, read it. It is powerful because joe's story shows you how people that was around him left him, mocked him.
Speaker 1:You know he was losing everything and his wife was telling him to just. You know, tell god to kill you. You know, clearly you've done something.
Speaker 2:That's how deep it was and I lost my train of thought.
Speaker 1:Sorry, but you were saying that you know everyone mocked him, put him down. And it's Job, even though Job was crying out to the Lord.
Speaker 2:He still trusted. And I feel like sometimes there's nothing wrong with when we're facing with difficulty, to cry out to him, because we're human, you know when things are going left. That's why you've got the Psalms. I cry O Lord, attend unto my prayer because he knows. You know, it's not just a song.
Speaker 2:It, like David, wrote so many psalms with things that he was going through in his times, and the narrow path is not easy, but it's about holding on, not letting go, still trust and believe, and sometimes you might sway left a bit, but don't stay left for too, don't stay in there for too long. Come back to the right side and, um, yeah, deny self, denying self daily, deny people as well, because I've had a lot of people that have been adamant that I can't do this and I can't do that. Oh, I never do this, so I never do that. But that's based on their opinion, that's based on things that has happened to them. That's their experience, that's not yours. I'm not saying that what they're feeling and their thoughts is not valid to them, but that's not what he has for you.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, speaking to me, honey, I'm listening to all of you guys. I'm like, oh yeah, I hear you. So true, it reminds me of a testimony of someone that we both know. That person that was looking for a job for so long, had amazing jobs, was making mad money um, I can't remember how they ended up jobless, but they did, you know, and sometimes not saying they weren't humble. I'm saying this as a general statement that sometimes we can be up there and God just wants to take us back down. Just take us down for some humility, you know, to show you and others what he can do, because a lot of the time when you're going through something, sometimes it's not even about you, it's about him showing what he can do. He needs you to give that testimony to show others, to bring others to him. That is the purpose of your life To be an example, to bring others closer to him. And imagine that person in that time frame that they weren't working, they were going away on holidays and like mission trips and stuff. They were able to go places and do things Like where me and you, who's working, who still couldn't do those things, that's how you know it was not couldn't, but like it wouldn't be as it wouldn't have been, as not couldn't, but you know it was not couldn't, but like it wouldn't be as it wouldn't have been, as you not couldn't, but you know, like might not be as possible. Should I say um, and they would do, and I found it amazing. I found their testimony amazing, like, oh my gosh, like they've been able to go in this mission trip or go on to this conference or whatever. I remember they went to this Christian conference in America and you're just like, wow, but they're not working. Yeah, because they've continued as hard as it was. They continue to trust in Elohim. That's what they did, and they were still eaten, their bills were still paid, everything was still fine. Not saying it was easy, but they were fine, they were. Do you know what I mean? And in that timeframe, that's where purpose was coming in as well, because Elohim was calling on them to do things that they were rejecting. So they were being called to speak and give sermons and they were refusing. So it's just things like that that will be happening, that you, you just think, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:And guys, I'll even tell you a story about myself. I was recently on holiday and I'm visually impaired and my strongest eye is my right eye. My left eye is weaker, um, and my right eye I've had injuries of it getting scratched more than once, and I think this incident will now be my third or fourth I can't remember now at this point in the space of the last five years. So I literally went to bed and woke up and couldn't open my right eye and this was like less than a week before I was due to leave. But it was the fact that I like planned all these things that I had to do, like all the things I wanted to buy, to bring back and all this stuff, you know, like that's what all my days was planned for and I literally couldn't see for three days. I literally couldn't look after my child properly for three days, and it wasn't easy. It was so rough, um, it was painful, it was distressing at times because, basically, the more I got stressed about it, the more painful it was, like physically. So, like the moment I started panicking and I thought, oh my gosh, why is this not going? The pain would get worse, and I don't know, if it was, it could be many things like.
Speaker 1:I feel like Elohim worked in me, showing me what he could, what, what he's capable of doing, and the fact that he continues to show us that he doesn't have to.
Speaker 1:He really doesn't have to, um, and I didn't know what to do because I wasn't at home with like my own hospital and stuff like that. I was back home in my other home, I was in Guyana, but, um, I don't live there. So I was like I don't know what to do. I don't know like I wasn't sure of what to do, so I tried to just use stuff at home to see if that would help. And eventually I got to the third day where I couldn't really open my eye and I was like, ok, I can't do this anymore, and I decided to seek medical help and to explain to you this is not like the Western world where you can just walk into your hospital and get help. You have to think about the fact that it costs um and you, if you go private, it's the best thing to do, but it can be very expensive and I could be.
Speaker 2:Did you have trust within that, that within those times like when, when you couldn't see, did you trust?
Speaker 1:so at first I was panicking. I was like what am I gonna? Like I was trusting himself and I stopped because I was just like I can't do anything about this. Literally I can't heal my own eye, I don't have powers for that. So I started to let go. And that's when it started to let go and that's when it started to ease. So even when I eventually went to the hospital and the eye doctor was like why didn't you come to me three days ago? But I was trusting that.
Speaker 1:The things not trusting in the medication per se, if that makes sense, I'm trying to say like I was trusting that the methods that I was trying, that Elohim would use those things to heal me or he would heal me. Do you know what I mean? That's what I was trusting in and eventually I did get to the point where I could slightly squint to open my left eye just to see a little bit, even though it was painful. But for me it was better than that was on day two, but it was better than day one where, like, I literally couldn't open my eyes at all, like none of them, because what happened is that if I tried to squint to open my left, it would distress the right. So I couldn't even do that. So a lot of times I had to keep both of my eyes closed but like by by the end of day one into day two, I could kind of do that where I can open my left eye on and off to see. So it was like I felt like he was doing something and he did something to help me to be able to at least manage to do the stuff I couldn't do on the first day. So I did. It was an instant trust.
Speaker 1:But I did have trust in the end and I had major trust when I went to the public hospital. Because everybody is like, don't go to the public hospital, like people die in there. Don't go to the public hospital Like people dying there, like people telling me some mad stuff, like they could give you the wrong medication, like all these things. And I was like, no, I need help, I'm trusting that Elohim will do what he needs to do. I'll be fine. I will be fine Because I need to see and I will see to pack my suitcase before I leave this place. I was. I had determined trust. I was determined. I was like, nope, I will see. I don't care Whatever you say, I'm going in there and I prayed before I went.
Speaker 1:I prayed while I was in there. I saw stuff happening, yeah, but I didn't, I wasn't even stressed about it. I was like, oh, you're going to have to sit there for hours. I was like, do you think the Western world is easy? Like you can go to the A&E in the Western world and you still have to sit there for hours. So that's nothing for me. So they didn't phase me with that part, because I was like that happens where I live, so let's let that go and all.
Speaker 1:I even had fearful moments in there, like I had a traumatic moment in there. I was like, oh, my gosh, what. But I trusted that whatever went into my body, elohim will undo and he will fix, because I am his child and he will not let anything happen to me. So my trust became a bit cocky, so to speak. I was like, nah, nothing you guys say is going to happen. Nope, not going to happen. No way, I'm not believing in that. And that's the point where I got to.
Speaker 1:And by the day before I was due to fly, I could open my eye and I could see to do everything and as much as, like I did have the help. I had to trust in the help I had. I had to trust in yeah, I had to trust in like people that I that's not in my life physically every day, if that makes sense to do stuff for me. And here what? Most of the things I wanted to buy to bring home I got to buy because all those people helped me do it. I had to give trust to others that I wouldn't normally do, because I don't want to rely on people, I don't want to pressure people. I don't want to make people feel like, oh, like they have to do this to me, like I had to do all of those. I had to let go of all of those feelings because I'm leaving soon and if they're willing to and they want to help me and it's my family, why am I placing negativity on everything? And you know what I mean? Like making it seem like they can't do it for me. And that's what I had to do. I had to let all of those things go and it all worked out literally. And the same way, like people are speaking so negatively about the doctors, I had trust in the doctors, not above God, that's not what I'm saying, but I'm saying like I had, you know, like he the the, the eye doctor that I got to see. He was excellent, he was great, he did great job. I saw him at like nine after nine that night.
Speaker 1:Bear in mind, I went into Aenea after two in the day in the afternoon, after 2pm. I didn't see him until after 9pm in the night and by the next morning, because he wanted to see me by 8am the next morning, no-transcript. My eye was so sensitive to light because I couldn't open my eye for three days and I could open my eye in no pain. And then, of course, after that medication wears off, you know you're getting a slight twitcher in there. But even by the morning, when I went to him, because he covered my eye to let it heal and he made sure I could open my eye by the next morning, I could open my eye again. Even though it was a little bit pain, I could still open my eye. After he was like checking my eye and stuff like that, and it was just amazing to me, like just reflected on it, going through it, it was just.
Speaker 1:I found it so wow, and that wow comes from trusting in Elohim, because I knew it wasn't in my powers and it wasn't even that doctor's powers, but he gave him that ability, he gave him that knowledge to be able to treat me and everyone else that he treats, and he was an excellent doctor. So, as much as people like spoke negative things, I was amazed by him. I thought he was excellent. He's great at what he does and he knew what to do. So and I don't feel treated any more differently from any doctor that if I was where I'm living now, I didn't feel treated any more differently from any doctor. That if, like, if I was where I'm living now, I didn't feel any different, like it didn't feel any different from any doctor in the UK as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1:So all the stuff that people had told me like you were saying about what people told you about finding a job, and all these different things, because you, because you trusted an Elohim and you, you didn't, you didn't, you didn't um, let those words grow. That's what I had to do and that's what I did and I was healed to the point where I said I was going to come back home and get my eye checked. It's been like a week and a half and I still haven't checked my eyes yet, you know, because I'm not saying I'm not going to check it, I'm just saying, you know, like my prayers were heard, like you know, I'm not stressed and panicked about it because what I'd given up to Elohim he did Amen. Sorry, guys, if I was talking for a minute, but I just felt like I needed to give you a breakdown of that story and that testimony from me because I just feel like that was a huge distressing time for me, the situation and I wasn't even in my own environment that I live in daily. Like I know that place, I know my country, but I don't know in that level because I haven't lived there since a child and I had the experience Because I can give a testimony, I can speak on a lot of stuff. I you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm still glad I had that testimony and also it gave me humility to appreciate what I do have here, because whether I could see or not, when I was going around the hospital and I needed tests to be done, I'm walking around by myself and I'm standing there for hours because that person hasn't come and shift yet and you have to deal with it. I remember standing there for, like, I don't even know if it was 45 minutes on my feet Because I don't want to lose my line in the queue to get my test done and that's my business, like I had to deal with it, um, and stuff like that. That humbled me as well, you know. So it's just trying to take lessons away from those situations that you're in. What is Elohim trying to teach you here? What characteristic is he trying to remove from you here? Because it could be something that the attitude you have or whatever you're doing, that like he just he actually is trying to humble, that. He's trying to remove that from you and I, you guys, are going to learn.
Speaker 1:I'm emotional, okay, because I'm talking to you. I'm talking right now and I've got tears in my eyes because I'm just thinking about it. Like, because it's so much more powerful than what you can do for yourself. You think you can fix you. You can't fix you. You really can't. It's not about you. You didn't make you. You have to go back to the source. You have to go to the person who made you to be able to help you and to make changes in you and to fix and undo all the things that you may have done to yourself or others have done to you, that's not in your powers. That you may have done to yourself or others have done to you, that's not in your powers, that's not for you to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, guys, this has been deep. Yeah, that's me. I'm talking a lot this episode.
Speaker 2:Well, guys, we hope that you learned something. You got something, and I'm just going to say a basic prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, I just want to thank you for allowing us to be here, allowing us to listen and allowing you to be present. Lord, we're faced with many tests and trials, whether it be through finances, whether it be through social environments, families, jobs, jobs you name it health. We are tested and, just like your son, job, you sometimes allow us to be tested and I'm praying for each and every listener here that, whatever test that you are going through, remember to trust him. When you hear that voice of negativity, whether it be from your inner self or from somebody else, rebuke it and say get behind me, satan. The.
Speaker 2:Bible says he will never leave us nor forsake us. And just hold on, because your test will be a testimony and you'll be able to preach and encourage somebody else, just like how we're encouraging you today. Just hold on. The Lord sees you, he hears you, he hasn't given up on you. Just keep trusting, no matter how bad it gets. Lord, I pray that you may continue to bless each and every single one of us, cover us from our head to our toe and protect us. Lord. These things I ask and pray in your name. Amen.
Speaker 1:Amen Amen.
Speaker 2:That's a wrap, guys, and we'll see you on the other side every two weeks.
Speaker 1:Take care, and we'll see you on the other side every two weeks. Take care. Bye, guys.
