Trust and Understanding

Something to chew on:

I listened to a sermon last night titled Does Prayer Change Things? It cleared up a lot of things for me, but the one thing that really stuck out, (probably because I'm really struggling with this right now) is- understanding God and trusting Him are NOT the same thing. The analogy was very clear--As a parent you decide what is best for your child. Your child may not always understand it (why can't I have a cookie for breakfast), but they must learn to trust you and your judgement. As the parent you know what's best for them overall and in the long run. It may not make sense at that particular moment but you know them, you know if you give them a cookie for breakfast one time, they'll want one every morning and that could lead to cavities and/or sugar overload etc. etc.

I guess right now I just really needed to hear that God knows me better than I know myself. Hopefully that will make what I'm going through a little easier, I do feel better already. We'll see...
