Trust the Process! By "BOSS Influencer" Kimberly Jones


For years I went through a wide range of hardships. I was a teen mother, experienced financial hardships, physical and mental abuse, and a number of other issues were going wrong in my life. At times, I couldn't understand why I was in such a dark place. I couldn't understand why I didn't have all the money I wanted to have. I couldn't understand why I was not in a better relationship like I deserved. As I stand before you today, a proud mother of two, executive of a record label, realtor, and an owner of three businesses, I am a witness that these hardships were only building character for who I was destined to be and to fulfill my purpose.
God does not purposely cause problems for us, however, he does allow things to happen that will push us into our destiny. The situations that we think are distracting us or hurting us, only signify that God is trying to shift us into a new season. At times, God will shake things up in our lives to make us uncomfortable in order to move us out of our comfort zone. We make things harder for ourselves because we fight the change. Many times out of fear, we choose to stay in that comfort zone. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV)
Your faith is going to be tried. So with that being said, here are some steps that can help you activate your faith and trust the process.
1. You have to make a sound choice not to worry.
You first have to make a conscious effort to trust God. You have to willingly give up and release the situation to God.  By no means will this be easy to do, but the only way to TRUST God will be to genuinely learn how to trust in him.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ” (Philippians 4:6) (NIV)
2.  You need to continuously maintain control over your feelings.
The battle in your mind is how the devil attempts to separate us from God.  This is when you start to have feelings of fear, worry, and anxiety. When you find yourself being anxious or worrying, you have to remain calm. You have to begin to train yourself how to respond or react during these times according to his will. This is how you learn to be obedient to God's word. Seek him first, and ask for direction.


The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4” (NIV)


Trusting the process of having faith will definitely be a challenge. Though we may not like it but it is designed to help us break free.
