Do we really believe God will do what is best for us . . . or do we just say we believe it? It is a constant struggle to surrender all ownership to God daily, isn’t it? How many of us release our fears and give our problems to God, only to return to it twenty minutes later and pick up all those things we had left behind and drag them around with us all day? This age we live in is so fast paced, we do things at such speed, we may not have thought it through. This can lead to more worries and more problems. The answer is to rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him . . . Psalm 37:7. The trick is the waiting patiently part!

It is a daily choice of attitude. A trusting cheerful attitude will keep you going for you know that God will work all things together for good. The converse would have to be gloomy – not believing that God is working behind the scenes, how crippling this would be towards progress. The attitude is also that EVERYTHING we have comes from God. Our jobs, our homes, our kids, our spouses, even the dog! When we can trust God with all things, we can be freed to go and do great things and those heavy burdens can be lifted. How wonderful it would be!
