Whenever we receive a letter, it is an exercise in trust.

We cannot deliver letters ourselves and so we trust

the Post Office to deliver the mail, both from us and to us.

Likewise,when we are faced with a problem, our faith is challenged.

Knowing that it is impossible to resolve the problem ourselves,

we recognize the need for God’s help.

First, though, we should go to Him in prayer.

Until that moment, we are still holding onto the problem.

But we know the situation will not get resolved

until we let go and commit it into God’s hands.

Once we let go, we then must trust God to take over

until the problem is resolved in His way.

Although we can’t see what He is doing,

our faith tells us He knows what He is doing,

and we have the assurance that His work is as good as done!

and rewards those who seek Him! – Hebrews 11:6
