Day 35: Trust

Another "freestyle" entry.

How many times have you worried about your future?  How many times have you imagined all these different things that could happen for you or played the pros and cons of a huge decision in your head?  Don't you just wish you could ask God what He has in store for you and what you should do?  I know I do.  I've prayed, "Just tell me what to do and I'll do it!  Even just a hint, please!"  Everyone wants to feel like they are in control or have their plans all laid out for them.  It makes Christians uneasy and even stressed out when they have to leave everything up to God.

Ironically, that is the best place it is going.  Humans make mistakes.  I want things done our own way, but our ideas are flawed.  God's plans are perfect and are intended to help us.  Why wouldn't we relax and let God handle everything?  Because we would be losing control.  It's uncomfortable knowing that we are not control of something.  This is when we have to take the leap of faith and trust God to handle everything.  He doesn't want us stressing needlessly over something.  It's a lot harder to do than say though.  It can take all your strength sometimes.  It's worth it though.  You'll look back a few years later and think, "Now why was I so worried about this?"  Everything turns out alright in the end.  Hold on, and God will hold on to you.  Praying that He gives you the strength to trust.
