If you have a problem with trusting others with things that are important to you or if you like to be in control, then it is probably hard to let God be in control and trust his plans. This is an issue that a lot of people struggle with because most people don’t like to be told what to do and don’t like to be led somewhere that they cannot see.
That is why being a Christian isn’t easy; the whole point of it is to give your life to some man that lived a perfect life and died on a cross and said he was the Son of God. The first reaction to this concept is to wonder how could someone do that, because it doesn’t seem rational at all, and humans are rational beings made to make decisions through what they know.
It is so amazing the way God set salvation up, so that only those who truly believe would put their faith in Jesus and trust that he died and rose again. Along with faith comes trust--first we have to have faith and then we need to trust that God knows what is best for us, or as Solomon puts it, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). This verse is saying that we can’t think rationally of how God knows what he knows or how he does what he does, we just need to trust that what he says is truth.
