Like a Child

I pray every day for faith like a child. Children are wrapped in the security of their parents. Time and time again the parents provide food, shelter, clothing, love, happiness, peace. Children don't need to be reminded that their parents care, it's something they experience constantly. They are showered upon daily with these things, and more. So you don't hear children questioning their parents about where the next paycheck is coming from. You don't hear children worrying about if their parents are going to feed them or not. They've learned from the past that their parents are good and faithful to take care of them. Matthew chapter 7 poses an extremely powerful question "which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? if you, then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask!" God wants us to come to Him with an open and honest heart, yes. But he probably sits on His throne, head in hand thinking "why do they keep worrying about these things? I've promised them I will provide...why don't they trust me?" And I know I'm the worst about this. "Am I ever going to get married? Will I be able to get a job after I graduate? Who is my husband, can't you just give me a hint? Will I actually be good at the career I've chosen? What if I'm not? Seriously though God, you did create a husband for me, right?! I know in the end, all things will work together for me. But in the meantime, I worry so so so so much and I'm not really sure why...why can't I be humbled like a child. Children don't worry about being taken care of, they just rest in the fulfilled promises of the past as an indicator that nothing is changing in the future. God has blessed me with so much, I need to stop worrying about Him taking care of me in the future because as the past tells me...He's got something INCREDIBLE for me! God help me to be humble and trusting like a child.
