What have I learned about trust?
— It’s about believing in the unknown – you don’t need to trust if you know the answer.
— It’s about believing the best – trust is not expecting that the other party is going to do you wrong, but believing they want the best for you
— It’s about not being in control – you don’t need to trust if you’re the one driving… if you’re in the passenger seat, you have to trust the driver knows where they’re going
— It’s about moving into the undefined – not about a clear plan (so why keep trying to make them?!)
— It’s loaded with patience – you have to be patient and wait for the outcome
— It’s about peace – if you trust, you don’t stress, you just “are”, and you can exist in that moment, not worrying about the next
Still trying to learn how to trust...
Hi Nath.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with the connection between your very useful definitions of trust and the words in the prayer you quoted back a while: "and may all the desires of my heart and will center in what you would have me do."
The reminder that we can keep on trusting, with the idea that the desires of heart and will can "centre" on what God wants (not on what I want), is helpful to me in where I am at the moment.
Thanks.
