Trust. Trust can be brutal. Trust can be beautiful. Trusting God in all things is really tough. When life is difficult or when there seems to be more reasons to be in despair than anyone cares for, this… this is when trust is crucial. I know it is a bit cliche but the Footprints in the Sand is what I envision each time I am in this place of uncertainty. When I do not know what I will do next or what God is doing with a situation or my heart hurts beyond understanding this is when I feel like I can viscerally see and feel the single set of footprints. Initially, I almost always feel alone and let down or as if I am not enough to be taken care of…. BUT always there comes a point where I realize that these very single footprints are not mine.
This brings me so much peace:
Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see
I’ve tried to win this war I confess
My hands are weary I need Your rest
Mighty Warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You’re by my side
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There’s not a day ahead You have not seen
So, in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want Lord and nothing less
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation; the rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There’s not a place where I’ll go, You’ve not already stood
When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
I will trust in You!
Mama, Teacher, Helper, and Believer 
Very Beautiful…

Oh so very true. We must trust God in every single circumstance regardless of what it looks like. “…Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”
