I know in my head that I need to trust the Lord with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding, but how? How do I trust God with all my heart?? Cuz the understanding of my life this past year doesn't make much sense. I DON'T understand! And I'm not seeing how my experience can benefit others. I do believe God's Word when He says that we go through things so that we can comfort others with the same comfort we received from Him ourselves. Maybe I just need to believe...

(((Sheep))), life is *hard* sometimes!! For whole years sometimes!! And longer .... sigh! :rolleyes: .... but you are doing SO great despite it all! :o

But after thinking about how uninjured children just so naturally trust, and they *know* who it's safe to trust ... I wonder if just maybe ... we will, too, as we become whole again, like little uninjured children ... and as we heal, our ability to trust will also increase?

I've been wondering if the Bible simply explains us how happy uninjured humans behave ... and so our goal is to get back to that way of being and living and doing?

Great topic to think about for sure... thanks for sharing and I hope today went well for you! :p :) :D
