Being Still

I lie in wait…almost tempted to think that perhaps God had forgotten or had fallen asleep; or that He had lost the prayer request that I trustfully handed Him. As I ponder on these questions, I’ve become very much aware of the struggles happening within my heart. It began to challenged the very knowledge and nature I have known about God - who He is and has become to me, His love and His faithfulness. I felt myself rise to take control. ‘God needs a bit of a push, I will help God to get things going’, I heard my thoughts say compelling me to manipulate my situation. Whatever happened to putting God in the driver seat? Laughing quietly, I saw myself asked God, "Lord, would you like me to drive?" How silly am I to think that I know better than the God who created my destiny and my purpose! But the question still remains - “Can I really trust Him? Is God really good - all the time?”

His Word says so and anything, any thought or anyone that says otherwise is telling a lie. The God I surrendered my whole life to, my everyday, my every minute, my every second, my every breath, is the same God who is in control and has always been. Nothing escapes His sight. He who sees the beginning and the end remains faithful in times both good and bad. He and His word is trustworthy forever.
