Will You Trust Him?

I was having a moment where I was trying to "do it all" all by myself. There were many things going through my head this morning and I was wanting to be able to fix them on my own. When I came to a quiet second (a breath between thoughts), I heard the Lord ask me, "Will you trust Me?" I don't know about you, but the Lord has been asking me to trust Him alot lately. It is (for my flesh) a scary place to be. The reason for this email is simple. I just wanted to share with you ladies something that I learned this morning so that maybe it will be a help to you as you journey through life. I was consumed and worried about different things in my life and I was really and truly talking to God about them, but I was not really and truly trusting that God would take care of them. I was praying about them, but I wasn't believing that God would take care of the problems that I offered Him. So, here is my suggestion, my little insight into "What God wants from you", All God really wants from you (and me) is that we trust Him. We believe Him. If we do, then when we pray about something we will not keep revisiting it over and over again in our minds (yes, I am speaking of myself), but we will relinquish the problem over to our Big, Loving, Caring, All-knowing, All-mighty Heavenly Father. The One who is on our side. The One who cares so deeply for us and our problems. And, LET HIM HAVE THEM. Don't try and do it on our own, but completley surrender our problems to Him and sit back and watch Him work... be willing to trust Him. Will you trust Him today?
I know for me, I am going to try. Have a blessed day ladies, and know that I love you and so does your Creator. He loves you so much that not only has He told us to cast all our cares (anxieties) upon Him, but He has also inscribed us on the palm of His hand (Isaiah 49:16).
