TRUST THE PROCESS.

Trust the Process is a slogan used by fans of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, though it has since become popular elsewhere in sports and culture. Coined during a rough patch for the team, it means "things may look bad now, but we have a plan in place to make it better."

After this Slogan became popular, we had to associate it we our everyday life for it to give us hope and have faith that everything we come out just fine. Spiritually this means letting go and having faith that things will eventually work out in their own time.

It is so easy to obsess over the results of something happening in our lives, whether it's a career, relationship, or something else entirely. We tend to do the opposite of trusting "the process" and go frantic on the things that aren't happening, especially when things don't go the way we expect. However, this ends badly for us.

Trusting the process for instance means, trusting the process in your career that while you aren't exactly where you imagined being, you're working your way to getting there.

When you trust the process at the right time you get where you intend to be without pressuring yourself.

It can take you to places you never imagined and it all comes down to patience, trust, and faith.

Why It is important to trust the process.

You are less likely to hurt yourself;

It's so easy to break your own heart when you stress over your own life. Trusting the process means that you value yourself enough to not stress yourself out. You know there is no use in stressing over something you have no control about, therefore you better of let it all go.

You become patient;

As I mentioned earlier, this process takes a great deal of patience, if you plan to do it right. When you trust the process you build your character and attitude and let things be. By believing that things will eventually work out you are, you are also building discipline.

You become open to change;

While no one likes the idea of change starting with me, it's the one thing in our lives that we cant avoid entirely.

Change is consistent, no matter where we go. When you trust the process, you learn to adapt to the changes that happen.

It will lead to your purpose;

This whole thing is all about being led to your purpose. Everyone is made for a purpose and this is why it is important to have faith and just trust that you'll get there eventually. It may seem cliche, and it's another topic for another time, but what's meant for you will find a way in your life.

It helps you practice gratitude;

Life is filled with enough anxiety that there's no reason to add to that by worrying even more.

By letting go, you learn to be grateful for what you already have and take it from there. You learn contentment and bliss even when you're not yet where you want.

You grow through everything;

No matter what things you encounter in your life, you have grown through even the most painful circumstances.

You realize that timing is everything;

The things that are meant to be will be yours eventually, but it's a matter of timing. This is also why pain occurs-so that after growing through the lessons we've learned, only then can we be at a place when we're ready for our purpose.

HOW TO TRUST THE PROCESS;

As humans, we are naturally fragile, anxious, impatient which makes trusting the process even more challenging. However, this doesn't mean we shouldn't.

To trust the process, you should let go of every need you have to control. Let go of the need to know the answers to all your questions, such as if you'll attain success or if you'll get to your dream life.

Trusting that everything will work its way in your life is something you're meant to have and if not, life works in unexpected ways than you realize. In order to trust the process, you must not rust the timing of things. Oftentimes, we want it now and we can't wait any second longer, which is the wrong mindset to have.

We need to develop a mindset that's full of patience and discipline as that's what trusting the process is all about. Even in the things unknown, even when things don't make sense, trust in both the process and in yourself.

And the Bible talks about it again and again in different scriptures that we should trust the process.

I have read more than five scriptures in the Bible that emphasize why we should trust the process;

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”Proverbs3:5-6

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.Psalm 37:4

This one right here is my favorite I love it so much that I had to tattoo it on my skin and have it in my heart.

Our soul waits for the Lord, he is our help and our shield. Psalm33:20

Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him, and he will act. Psalms 37:5

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust, and will be not afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2

You put him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3

The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. Proverbs 29:25

Final Thoughts.

I hope this article was able to shed a light on the importance of trusting the process. While difficult, it is one of the most life-changing things you can do in your life. No matter how much you try, you can never control the outcome of your life.

I chose to write about this topic because I've been going through an anxious season in my life, it helps me to share my thoughts and research in hopes that I can encourage someone else who might be struggling.

I'm still working through a difficult season, but things have improved and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel at this point. Praise the Lord!

The thing that God has taught me through all this anxiety and hardships is that it can only come when we aren't trusting in him. Truly put all of your faith and trust in Him who already has the victory, then what is there to worry or be anxious about? I have put my whole life in his hands and simply trust that he knows what is best.

FYI; I hope this article finds you well wherever you are and whatever you are doing. If you are going through a lot right now, trust the process and keep pushing, keep yourself in your purpose, and one day those hardships will take you where you want and dream to be, just my friend doesn't give up, pray, rest, and restart, what's for you will be for you.

Yours Faithfully,

Daniella.
