(Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. - Proverbs 3:5,6)
Lately I've been looking back over my life and thinking abut where I've been, hopes and dreams I had but never accomplished, ways I have failed God and disappointed my family. I'm not feeling very much like a child of the King, more like a child of the exile. I wanted more from my life, a family, my own home, financial security. It's hard not to see my life as a total waste sometimes. Yet I know that I am where I am because of failed opportunities to trust God and not for any failure on God's part to be there for me. If God had not been there for me in many instances I would have been far worse off. God has asked me to trust Him to be my provider, my companion and my security.
I want to trust. Father God, help me to trust.
