Your Father in Heaven is saying, 'Me, please trust me. I'll never give you anything you won't make it through. I love you. I'll care for you.' Some people say they trust God, but when it comes down to it, many of those people also have a filter: anything that comes into their life goes through their that filter before they allow God to work. I think that filter develops early. When you're a child, you automatically allow God to be in control because you don't understand the need to protect yourself. You don't understand that there are bad people and bad situations. People who've been hurt think along the lines of 'when I wasn't in control, bad things happened to me. I was raped, beaten, threatened, and abused. I can't help it. I just need to protect myself.' What they probably don't realize is that by trying to protect themselves from every bit of harm, they are directing so much of their energy into defense mode, and that is when you feel like you're just trying to get by, like you can't keep up with the world around you. You feel behind in the game, like you're losing.
So you're thinking, 'How in the world do you expect me to trust this invisible God who I don't understand at all?'
