Trusting

Naturally, I tend to be a bit of an anxious person. I have a hard time having faith when I can’t see what God is doing and I have shed many tears asking God to “show me” his plan. The problem is that even if God were to show all the details of his plan for me it wouldn’t alleviate my fears. This is because the problem is not in his plan, it is in me. The problem isn’t knowing vs. not knowing but trusting vs. not trusting. If God hasn’t revealed something in my life I can be sure it’s still hidden for a reason. Perhaps in my searching I will stumble upon the truth. We are all like children at the doctor, waiting to get our shots. God isn’t going to remove the pain and perhaps we aren’t old enough to understand the benefit of it yet but we can hold our father’s hand a little tighter and trust him a little more.
