“All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”
—– Ralph Waldo Emerson, US essayist & poet (1803 – 1882)
Sometimes it is hard to trust God. We often think we know better and are unwilling to wait for God’s answer. There were many times in the past when I was forced to trust God, often it was a tentative trust, sometimes it was born of desperation. But God always came through, often in unexpected ways. You would think that the repeated events in my life where God has come through for me would strengthen my trust in the Creator. But I still struggle with letting go and letting God take control of the situation. I have even hung out the fleece, so to speak and had the answer that God was there and handling things.
So why is it so difficult to let go? Maybe that is just part of what I need to learn this time around.
