Trusting the Lord and a Little Prayer

I know that the Lord is sovereign and all powerful. I know that every utterance from Him does not return empty. I know that no event happens in His universe without His consent or foreknowledge because He has ordained them in accordance to His pleasure and will. But even after all this, even after knowing how infinitely good He is, why do I find it so hard at times to trust Him? Why can’t I lay my burdens and just commit everything into His hands? This just shows how wicked my flesh is. I have no reason to doubt the Lord – in fact, I have all the reasons to trust Him – yet, I find myself lacking.

“Father, please continue to sanctify my wicked and doubtful heart. Oh so wicked is my heart that I cannot bring myself to trust You in spite of all the good You have done! Knowledge is not enough to create trust. Only You, oh Lord, can truly bring my heart into submission. Make me Your slave dear Father. Teach me Your ways and wrought faith in me that I may be clean and free from the sin of doubt. In the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.”
