Desiring ‘Faith Like Potatoes’

Posted by Scott | April 26, 2010 | 2 Comments

Each and every day God tests my faith. In fact, the more I get to know Him, the more I think He tests it. Day by day as I’ve drawn nearer to Him, I sometimes have to look back and think if I’m really giving it my all in this relationship with Him. It’s like any relationship you’ve ever had with a friend or a family member. When you have a best Black Axis Trust In The Lord Closedfriend, chances are you trust them. You trust them with everything including your secrets and quite possibly your life. We’ve all witnessed and trusted people sometime in our life, so why is it so hard for me to trust Jesus?

I’m not sure what it is, and I struggle with it every day. He has pulled me through every struggle I have ever been through. He has a perfect track record of always being there for me. Yet, every day I sit here and worry about things. I question why He puts me in situations and I question His reasoning. I question Him, as if if I know better. I love Jesus so much, but it scares me that I doubt the Creator.

Lord, pray that I can stop worrying and that you can give me a peace that only you can give. Help me wake up each morning and give glory to you and no one else.

Help me not fear men, but fear you. Amen.
