Trust

"Trust in God with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding.; in all of your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths strait." ~Proverbs 3:5-6

This entry is difficult for me to put into words so brace yourself:

Tonight I was talking to one of my good friends on the phone and we were catching up because I hadn't talked to her in a couple of weeks. She told me about a situation in her life that she wanted to work out a certian way but she was frustrated and tired of waiting on it to happen. I told her to pray about it and with absolute assurance I told her that it would all work out the way it was supposed to. I know that sounds silly because all things eventually work out one way or another, but I could honestly tell her that God would take care of it and I know without a doubt that he will.

Then I started thinking how awesome it is that God takes care of us and that we can rely on him to work things out for the best for us. Faith is something I have always had a lot of, but trust,not so much. I always have faith that God will work things out, but it's the journey from the origin to that certian destination that tends get me. Even when I know that God is taking care of things I always try to take things into my own hands. That's all part of being human I guess and it's something I try to realize about myself.

The whole point of my writing this though is to say that I'm so glad that I don't have to be in control. I'm so glad that I can rely on the One who sees all and knows all, and loves me so much, to take care of every aspect of my life. I love that I can honestly tell my friends, "God will work it out for you" and believe it and know it to be true. That is just so wonderful to me!

Other verses that are great reminders to me are: Jeremiah 29:11 and Phil 4:6-8
