Trust in the LORD

I have am challenged by the Lord whether I truly trust him. Searching my heart, I think there are areas where I honestly don't, especially areas where I can tend to be very controlling. God in his wisdom has continued to talk to me about those areas where I seek to control, and cannot surrender - and those areas I haven't, the enemy has been able to infiltrate and create fear (e.g. my fear of flying, which is rooted in my lack of ability to control the plane - crazy, yeah I know). I feel too often I have put my hope in my strength and not his - and almost every time I have done that, I end up failing myself. So I am learning to surrender, to be at peace when I cannot control, knowing that God in his goodness and faithfulness is able to carry me through those situations.

Psalm 37:1-11 (New International Version)

 1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
   or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
   like green plants they will soon die away.

 3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
   dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the LORD,
   and he will give you the desires of your heart.

 5 Commit your way to the LORD;
   trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
   your vindication like the noonday sun.

 7 Be still before the LORD
   and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
   when they carry out their wicked schemes.

 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
   do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
   but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

 10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
   though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
   and enjoy peace and prosperity.
