We make the plans, carry the mental load, anticipate everyone's needs, and try to make sure everything, and everyone is okay. But what happens when we can't figure it out? In this episode, we're talking about returning to childlike faith and learning to trust our Heavenly Father the way our children trust us. I'm sharing a simple moment from a rainy Texas drive with my kids that completely changed the way I thought about trust. While I was watching the road, thinking ahead, and figuring out how to get us home safely, my kids weren't worried about any of it. They trusted the person driving. And maybe that's exactly what some of us need to remember right now. Jesus isn't asking us to know every turn in the road. He isn't asking us to figure out exactly how the story ends before we trust Him. He's asking us to trust the Father who already sees the entire road. We're talking about what Jesus meant when He told us to become like little children, why surrender feels so difficult when we're used to being in control, and how to trust God's “no,” “not yet,” and “I have something different” answers. Because childlike faith isn't ignorance. It's confident dependence on a Father you know is good. You don't have to figure everything out. You don't have to know what happens next. And you don't have to carry tomorrow today. You just get to trust the One who already knows. Scripture: Matthew 18:2–4, Proverbs 3:5–6 & Romans 8:28 🤎 A question to sit with this week: What area of my life am I saying I trust God with while still trying to control the outcome? And one more: If I truly believed my Father could see what I can't see, what would I finally be willing to release? 🙏 Prayer: Father, restore our childlike faith. Teach us to trust You before we understand You. Help us loosen our grip on the things we've been trying to control and remind us that we don't have to know everything to know that You are good. Amen. 💕 Looking for Bible study and Christian community?
