Trusting in the Lord

When I started thinking about all of this yesterday, my mind immediately turned to the little booklet that we often use in our missionary teachings entitled "The Gospel of Jesus Christ". And as you open this little booklet to the fourth page you find in a small caption box this scripture: Proverbs 3: 5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. This scripture is listed as the first scripture in pour weekly list and is often the scripture that is first memorized and quoted the most by our young LDS seminary kids.

Also found on this page along with the scripture are the words Faith and Repentance. "Faith is a strong belief that motivates a person to act and Faith in Jesus Christ leads you to want to change your life for the better." For me it is easy to have the faith in the Lord, but it is not always easy for me to trust in him. I am a doer and often I lack the patience to wait for The Lord's time. Growing older and watching my children develop into adults and realizing that my idea of now and their idea of now  maybe different and I have to trust in them. Besides what matter does it really make as long as we reach the end goal. Many times, in my life, I have had to apply the same reasoning to things I have asked The Lord to help me with.
