The Trust Factor!

Sometimes I wish it was just "that easy," to trust God with everything, and I am sure that is a struggle for a lot of us. Ok there are some things that are easier than others. Ill admit for me, it is absolutely easier for me to pray for others than it is to pray for myself. Its kind of ridiculous to think about it; I love trusting God to answer my prayers when it comes to others, and their situations, health, or whatever it is. But when it come down to trusting God with areas in my own life, I find myself avoiding that at all costs. I know that God has a plan for my life, and I am totally OK with following that plan. The problem is I have my own little plan, or my little "roadmap" tucked away for when things seem to get touchy or not so clear.

It is so easy to trust God in the good times, when things are just dandy, and every "t" is crossed, and every "i" is dotted. When we hit a rough patch, the hard times that come along in life, that is when I find myself falling back on what I have planned, what I have in mind. When God has a plan already mapped out for me. God sees the big picture, He actually painted the picture.  I only have a limited view, as life goes on,  I get view of a little bit more and more.

When storms come, why do we resort to our limited view maps. We need to stick with what the Painter has already planned. He know what is good for us, He wants to walk with us, and be our leader and our shepherd.

In order to become the effective leaders that God wants us to be in this world, we have to first learn to trust in him for our guidance, and protection through life. I encourage to join me in this, in working our way to letting go of the roadmaps that we tuck away for ourselves, and hold fast to the master plan that God has laid our for us.

Here is a song that puts it really well...
