Stop trying to figure things out

Greetings:
God tells us many times in The Bible to simply trust him?
We know that trusting God many times involves waiting, praying and diligently seeking His will.
How many have we dreamed of something or a certain situation only to find yourself soon disappointed, mad at God and angry when those dreams fall apart?
I've been there too many times.
But we know, taking our frustration out on God will never provide the answer or the solution we are seeking.
In 1 Corinthians 2:5 we read: “So that your faith might not rest on man's wisdom, but on God's power.”
Stop trying to figure everything out and let God be God. Trust him. He doesn't need our help or advice on how to work things out.
In man's eyes and man's limited wisdom, something we seek or want might seem logical so we pray for it. But in God's eyes the time might not be right, the object of our prayers might not be in God's will or we me might have just missed it.
In Romans 12:12 we read, “Be joyful in hope; patient in affliction.”
Remember practice makes perfect. Our practice always starts with prayer and ends with prayer.
Be blessed.

Pray with expectancy
