It Comes Down to TrustThe search within is often a fearful journey, but one that is necessary nonetheless...teach me to trust
The path is unknown and this is what is most frightening...as I embark into the unknown may I always depend on your sustaining presence and loving grace...teach me to trust.
I cannot make this transition on my own. I cannot travel this journey as the lonely traveler...teach me to trust.
I cannot help but to look to the future with great anticipation and expectation for reasons I sometimes cannot explain...trust.
It is a journey that is worth taking because within this journey lies the power of transformation, renewal, revitalization, and rejuvenation...just trust in Him.
One can have all the knowledge in the world, but if that knowledge is not put into action in some manner then it will succumb to nothing, mere thought, like a bird stuck in a cage, never given the opportunity to spread its wings and fly...trust in Him.
How do I even begin to start the journey that I must take? How do I begin walk the path that will keep me from falling off the side of the cliff? Of this I am uncertain. But I know one thing, and this one thing has grappled with my very heart. If I don’t start walking this path and start soon, then my walk will soon become a crawl and soon I will cease to move forward...trust.
There is so much more to this life than I have taken hold of. What blessing awaits those who walk diligently in Your ways... sometimes it feels as if I have taken a side route, walking alongside Your blessing, seeing it to my near right, but never laying hold of it. I want to get back on the right track, where is the trail that leads me there? It is as if I am wandering aimlessly in the forest, hearing my Your voice echo through the trees, yet I am unable to find the path that leads me home...the trees are too thick, too hard to navigate. The sun is not shining bright enough to see where I am going, and the winds often blow so strong that I can no longer hear. I feel as though I cannot navigate this dreaded forest as the chill of the darkness closes in around me...trust in Him.
I am amazed by those moments when out of the frustration comes a whirlwind of peace. When confusion turns into clarity, and despair into joy. It is as if suddenly the aches deep within cease and the burning of unexplainable feeling of stress are vanquished. I love those moments, for I know that it is within these moments that You begin to pour into my life, relieving all fear. I certainly cannot explain how or why such moments come about, but I am thankful that they do. It is these moments that become the fuel for carrying on in the journey...you can trust Him.
I don’t believe in coincidences, but in Your sovereignty, so may I take comfort in knowing that Your are guiding me in the right direction...place your trust in Him.
Sometimes the journey can be messy, but at least I can have the confidence in knowing that amidst the messiness You are there...trust Him.
Sometimes there are so many questions and not enough answers..trust.
I am unsure where all of this is going, unsure of what the future may hold...but I will trust.
Be still and know that He is God. Trust.
