His grace is something that is hard for us to understand. How could He love us so much and forgive us so many times? He died on the cross for us. How can we ever explain an act like that? Thankfully, He doesn't ask us to understand, but to simply believe. He asks us to believe in His Word and that His way is always best.
One way we come to trust Him is by learning that prayer is the key to unlock doors. Perhaps, you have thought many of these doors could never be opened. Yet, as you read His Word, you will come to see prayer in a new light. Also, we must be open to what God has in store for us daily. There is such peace available to us in Him. This will lead us into the perfect rest described in Isaiah 30:15-17.
Trusting in God means we know that He has everything under control. This makes it easier to go to sleep at night, because I know He will take care of me, my loved ones, and everything else that needs His attention on this good earth. There are too many "wounded soldiers" in the kingdom of God!
How wonderful it is to wake up each day knowing that our God has everything under control. I can rest in Him without a worry or a care.
You might be wondering, "Dolly, you never worry about things?" I would have to reply, "No, it doesn't pay to worry. I have learned to trust in Him instead; the results have been more beneficial to me."
As a small child, we loved to be held and told that we are special. We felt so secure, knowing that we were loved. That is the same experience we can have with Jesus. We can pray and experience His grace in our lives. We can have our own intimate relationship with Him, no longer depending on others to do our praying for us.
