Trusting in Him

What does that even look like? As I sit here and want with all that I am to constantly trust the Lord and know that he has a plan, I find it very difficult to do at times. This past week we were delivered some difficult news in our family. And although at the end of last week I struggled to understand what God was up to, I sit here today knowing that the only place that I can put my trust is in Him. I will never understand his timing or ways on this side of life. I don't even think that I would want to. But what I do know is that God promises to continually meet us where we are at and he promises to "show up". One verse that continues to always bring me comfort is Proverbs 3:5-6:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight"
My prayer is that in the weeks to come and the uncertainties that follow that I remember this verse. That I continue to seek Him and walk in His ways. Life will always throw things our way that we think we cannot handle and that are hard, but I don't want to get through all the hard times and say I wish I had trusted you Lord. Instead I want to say faithfully that I did trust Him and be able to give Him the praise that he is so worthy of!
