Trust and Obey.
Trust God for there is no other way.
-Trust is an open door for God to come in and work for you; not only for what you want, but more.
-If you fail to trust God, you are putting a line that limits God to work for you.
-If there's no Trust there is Fear.
-Fear is like a worm that eats out every little trust you have left in God.
You might say to yourself "God said He's going to do X for me and I haven't seen it come to pass". Question: "Is He doing anything? Has He heard me?"
-Fear steps in when we feel that God is not going to show up.
Maybe after a while you will see what He promised you come to pass. After that there's something else, but this one seems to be even bigger. The Fear you had that God was not going to show up, comes back again, because you're saying to yourself God can't do Y for me, it is to big. "I asked God for so much already, He isn't going to do Y for me". So what you do instead of praying and trusting in God to do it for you, you put yourself in a hole, that no one can help you come out from, because you already put in your mind that God is not able to do it; if He's not, not a Pastor or anyone can.
-When Fear grows Trust loses its strength.
Reminder: God has the whole world in His hand, so there is not a problem that you can face that God can not handle. Don't listen to the lies that the enemy uses to get to you.
To close off, Trust does not go by itself; you have to Obey as well. Obey what God is saying to you to get into your victory.
