I realized today that I've been angry and resentful over a lot of things for a long time. The main problem is, they are things over which I have little or no control. So my only choice, literally is to trust God to handle it all. I can't "fix" our marriage, but God can. I can't "fix" the problem of some dental issues I have that could cost thousands of dollars to correct. But God can. I can't "fix" debts and old bills that need to be satisfied. But God can. All I can do is do the best I'm able with the resources he's given me, and trust Him to take care of the rest.
As I write this, I'm confident He has the solutions to these and other much smaller matters, already in motion. I don't have to make it happen. I just have to trust and listen, and follow him day by day.
This song helps me to remember this, when I forget it, which is often. I hope you enjoy it.

How sweet it is to trust Him day by day! Chanced upon your blog today. I certainly LOVE the title. ;-) And enjoyed reading through some of your recent posts. May I just encourage you that I also was in a similar struggle in my marriage and finances in my past, and God is faithful. So. Very. Faithful. I began learning the power of steadfast prayer, and sweet surrender. I grew as I prayed through this book..."The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie OMartian. And continue to grow day by day as I trust in Him. Praying for you today. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
