Trust in Him

Why do we have so much trouble trusting Jesus? Recently, I have been wrestling with this question. I have been wrestling not because I trust God completely, but because He is taking me through a season of trusting Him. I am realizing more and more how much I actually don't trust my Father in Heaven.
Many questions run through my head about many different things. "What will happen with my life?" "Where will I be at the end of the school I am staffing?" "How will God support me?" "When will I be married?" I would sit there and these questions would consume my mind. I wouldn't be thinking about them obsessively, but I would to a point where my mind was not fully fixated on my Lover. I am not saying thinking about these questions are wrong, but when taken beyond processing with Jesus then a place of compromise enters. The Lord commands to Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Loving someone consumes every part of your thoughts. When you love someone you can't help but think about them, but it also takes effort to consider them in between the menial tasks of the day as well as the big questions in life. The Lord says "all" not part, so we give Him all of our thoughts that proceed from our mind.
So, I have come to a revelation that God has given to me. The questions that challenge my trust in God are out of a place of not loving Him. If I realize that there is a God in Heaven who loves me and He is taking care of me no matter what, then I could trust Him. He is a Father in Heaven who gives good gifts and knows me better than I know myself. I have been realizing something in my short walk with God. He takes care of me while I sit with Him. No more doing and no more thinking about meaningless things.
"Be still and know that I am God..." -Psalms 46:10
I have all these questions and yet I have ONE answer. He is my answer and though how crazy it might seem I must trust Him and love Him and KNOW that He is God. If He really IS God and I am really His child, then there is nothing I should be worried about. He is a good Daddy and He takes care of every thing that we need. I pray that we can choose to trust Him and choose to love Him.
