Waiting and Faith

You will never know how incredibly difficult faith is- and how utterly helpless the feeling- until you decide to put something completely in His hands. To finally let go and agree to let God handle it, knowing you have done all that you can do in the matter. There is no point in going back and checking on it once you have handed it over to Him. The letter is not just sealed, but mailed and unreachable. You may drop to your knees and pray for the faith to trust Him, but it belongs to Him now. The only thing that can be done is to wait. Each minute thereafter, when the temptation is to run back and take it from Him, or even to shout in the darkness "Father, how long?" - you must simply close your eyes and whisper, "Thy will be done." These may be the most difficult words of all.
