Trust in God and Your Health – Weekly Health Devotional

November 1, 2012 By Dale Fletcher 2 Comments

Trusting in God and your health

Do You Really Trust God?

When life is a mess, do you wig out and become really stressed or do you have peace because you trust in God?

When you become anxious and worried it sets into motion many physiological and biochemical reactions within your body that are bad for your health. Headaches, intestinal problems, chronic pain, skin problems and sleeplessness are just a few issues that might be related to a chronically unsettled mind and heart.

Excessive and chronic anxiety and worry are a barometer that indicates you don’t really trust in God.

If you really trust God you’ll have a greater degree of peace…. and deep peace in your heart and mind is good for your health.  “The peace that God gives goes right to the soul, relieving the heart and mind.” Henry Blackaby

Trust in God – What the Bible Says

God inspired writers of the Bible to instruct and encourage us on this topic:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

“My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

As Jesus was preparing to depart earth and be with his Father, he told his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

God wants you to trust him… and to have peace in your heart and mind.  Your inner peace during troubling times can be a great witness for others who do not know the God that you know.

Trusting in God is also good for your health.

Trust in God – Questions to Reflect On:

How much do you really trust God?
Does your perceived level of trust in God match up with your what you think or worry about and with your behavior?

    I appreciated this reminder. Even many years later so there’s no telling if you’ll even see this. Im 26 and recently had a stroke and I’ve been struggling with trusting God that this won’t happen again. I feel so terrible for even admitting that I don’t trust Him with my health but I struggle with it daily. He’s done so much for me but just with that one area I have a hard time surrendering. We are slowly working over here and thanking God for patience.

      You are not alone I had an MI in 2019 and I too struggle in this area as well. Even though I know that the worst that could happen means I am with Him! Praying for you that you will have no more health issues for the rest of your life and full peace and surrender.
