This past June I went through an event called LifePlan with a life and business coach named, Chris LoCurto. If you haven’t done so, click this link and go over to his page and see if LifePlan is right for you. It completely revolutionized my perspective on life and its trajectory. I thought I was a healthy person, but oh, man, I didn’t even realize the crap I’d put between myself and my relationships, particularly with God. Going into LifePlan I knew it would be difficult, but coming out of it, I have lived more free than I ever have in my life. Now, is it difficult? Yes! There’s still a lot of bad beliefs and habits that I must battle to break. However, with God’s help, it’s a whole lot easier.

The reason I wanted to tell you about LifePlan is because one thing that I’ve discovered post-LifePlan, is that I battle with trusting God completely. One of the bad beliefs that I’d had was that God had left me on my own and that I had to perform (i.e. be good enough) for Him. I didn’t even realize that I was operating like that until we started digging in my root system. We found a lot in my root system. However, this idea that I had to be good enough drove me to try and achieve my version of success, or what I thought was success. I tried so many things, pushing and striving, but each time, it never satisfied me. Instead, I felt even more empty than before and would wonder why I wasn’t achieving my dreams.

The truth is, I was operating from a bad belief. I was operating as though God didn’t have a plan for my life. That He had left me on my own to figure it out. I was operating as though God couldn’t be trusted. The truth is, that is a bad belief! You see, God is my Father, and He’s yours. He is completely trustworthy. Jesus told the disciples,

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you…20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you…And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” John 14:18-21

You see, God is your Father and He has not left you as an orphan. You can trust God’s plan for your life. His plans are better than yours. Ask God to help you know Him as your Father. Surrender your desire to have life on your terms. Accept His love, mercy, and grace. Give Him control of your life. Start building that relationship with Him that He so desperately longs to have with you. He is trustworthy. He loves you!
