faith and doubt
This is exactly how I've been feeling lately. I've always know I've had issue with totally letting go and letting God take hold, but He's definitely made it my hardest challenge recently. I started reading this book because of the one sentence theme my bible gave: "Real faith in God requires action". I feel like God has never trusted me to pray for specific situations/people like this before, and I feel like I'm letting him down by not believing and doubting. I keep asking Him why he needs me to pray for this person and asking Him, "But what if this situation I'm praying about doesn't work out". Before, to me, it's simply me being too much of a worry wart or having a plan B, but I'm beginning to realize I might be delaying his plans for someone else and hindering my relationship with Him. This verse is definitely going to weigh on my heart as I learn that just because there's a reason for everything, doesn't mean I need to know it and that I should let God take care of the "what if's".
