"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."
~ Proverbs 3:5-6
This is going to be my motto. I have been struggling lately with feeling like I have enough faith to get through certain things. I too often fail to remember the fact that Heavenly Father has helped us get through everything we have gone through up to this point. We always have food to eat, clothes to wear and shelter over our heads. Those are the basic necessities of life. I tend to get too worked up about how we're going to have enough money for this or that and I forget that we have everything we honestly and truly need. There will always be struggle and trial and hardship, that I have come to understand. It is our choice how we will deal with that trial, whatever it may be. Sure, I can continue to dwell on the unknown and worry, after all it is human nature to worry about what we cannot see. I must remember though that if we could see everything in our future we would need no faith or trust. I must also remember that Heavenly Father will never leave us. He will never give us more than we can handle, no matter how heavy the burden may seem. He will always be there to comfort and strengthen us and that I must remember and rely on. So I will try to follow my motto especially through the trial and fear of the unknown.
As the quote on my calendar for this month says...
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress."
