    I have often said,"i don't trust myself, well someone asked me "how can you not trust yourself?," i said,"because if i had trusted myself i would not have caused a lot of the pain i had done to myself, my trust is in god who has always been better to me ,than i have to myself. daily i seek him and his wisdom.pray for me.

    Blessings Angelia Patton,

    You are doing right in constantly seeking God. Trust in our self is futile. When we experience mental pain and anguish, it is because we've slipped into listening to our own voice. All knowledge lies behind every decision the Holy Spirit makes for us. One of our functions here is to decide against deciding what we want, in recognition that we DON'T know. Say to the Holy Spirit only, "Decide for me", and it is done, for His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light error of any kind becomes impossible. I've come to realize my stubborn mind is my only enemy, and this part of my mind seems so loud. The Holy Spirit's Voice is only as loud as my willingness to listen. It cannot be louder without violating my freedom of choice, which the Holy Spirit seeks to restore, but never to undermine.

    Peace,

    GOD IS
