How Many Ways?

I've been troubled lately, really troubled over no small thing.  Granted, I can make small things big, but this thing had the potential to be really big.  Over the years I've tried many methods, words, actions to resolve this thing.  Sometimes they brought temporary relief, other times my methods made things much worse.

In my despair and frustration, I cried out to my God, "What do I do?"  And I heard, "Trust me."  Okay, but what do I do?  And again, "Trust me."  Okay. 

But I thought, do I still be me and do what I do?  No answer.

So, I do what I do, but with an ear to my God and a heart seeking His way.  Doing what I do is not always pleasant, for me, for others.  I cause a reaction, which is sometimes very troubling to me.  But I remember a time when God brought these words to me: "Sometimes to be a peace maker you have to cause calamity.  Sometimes stress goes before a heart hearing and seeing."

So I trusted God, and was gentle and humble, seeking Him.  And the result was something I could only hope would happen!  God moved and is working.  I learned again, and in another way, to trust.

Whatever it is, bring it to Him, and trust.

Trusting,
