My Way


I can't help but think of myself and my relationship/view of God when I see these emotions appear on my daughters face.  I had just gotten done changing her diaper and she was wanting to feed, but she didn't know that was to come, that it would take place in minutes, so she cried and made this face.  I seem to do the same with God.  I don't like what is going on, I can't see what He is doing, I have no idea that this step needs to take place before the next, so I stick out my lip and pout.  I cry, I want my way.  I'm think I know what I need, I know what is best. So much of this has become apparent to me once I became a father and took care of my little one.  I know what she needs, and I'll do everything to make sure she gets it.  I know what is best, I know what will be better.  

Lord help me in my unbelief.  Help me trust you and your ways, your process, your timing, your plan.
