Behold, I am making all things new. It is My Word alone that spoke you into being. It is My Word alone that will bring all things to pass.
And you must feed upon My Word alone. You must never take your eyes off of Me. When you do, My Word cannot hold you. There is a test going on right now. What will you choose to live by? What or who will you look to for guidance? Will you find your food in doing My will? Or will you look to other methods to “supplement” you?
I am teaching you the way of faith. Not faith in what you are, what you can do, or what you see around you, but faith in Me alone. You must walk onto the sea without anything to hold on to. I cannot be your life if you still carry the world’s life preservers. You may want to put me to the test, but I have already passed all your tests. Just believe. It is as simple as this. Just believe.

How do you do this? I know I need to trust but I don’t know how to very well. I’m struggling to trust at all or even care at all about God. I want to want Him and I want to not be apathetic.
