Helllo Lovely ones... been reading this book ''Streetwise Spirituality'' by Jim Thomas and there's this small portion that i wanna share with you guys..

Chapter 5. How can i learn to trust God more?

Part2. Leaving the Driving to Him.

At times when God seems unpredictable, and i can't figure out precisely what He is up to, Which way He is leading me, or why. I pray and then pray some more, hoping to gain some clarity. But sometimes, even when my world seems to be falling apart, heaven appears to be running silent. Isn't God listening? Doesn't God Care?Has that ever happened to you? If so, don't worry, you re not alone. There are many of us. We may have varying levels of anxiety and different things we like to control, but the problem is still the same.

We basically have difficulty trusting God because it means we have to let go of the steering wheel and leave the driving to Him.How should we handle our hesitancy and inability to trust God? That question remiinds me of a day in the life of Jesus disciples that is recorded for us in the fourth chapter of Mark's Gospel.The Fact is, all of us have to face some pretty scary stuff in life. Trusting God is not an option for us, it's a necessity! But as we look a little closer at the story of Jesus and the disciples out on the stormy sea, perhaps we'll see that trusting God is also a wonderful privilege that can set us free from living a life with anxiety.

yup yup.. indeed!! I ll go continue reading my book.. and i share with you guys more next time.. You guys have a great week and lets all CONTINUE TO TRUST IN HIM!! =) Smiles...
