The Trust of a Child

I was reading a book when I felt I should write another rambling, but I realized I have already written about not worrying and having the peace of a child. I decided to go back to reading. I couldn't focus on the book because I kept thinking about writing. So, I hope someone can find this helpful. Psalm 23:1-3 is familar to many, but have you ever really read it and thought about the words? "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul." Have you ever had a child fall asleep on your chest or watched as a baby opens their mouth to be fed? They have complete trust in their parents. We are to provide for not just their needs, but their wants too. God, as our father, provides the same for us. We should trust Him just as completely as a baby trusts their parents. He will provide for us much better than we ever could by ourselves. I challenge you to submit everything to Him in prayer and see what happens! The last sentence of this verse says He can restore your soul. He can restore your faith to levels you never thought were possible if you just trust Him. It doesn't matter how long it has been since you have talked to Him. He is always there and ready to listen. Just trust Him.
