We lift our eyes to Heaven

So life is pretty tough sometimes. The only tough part about life is that we don't understand everything that it is. Things happen, we don't understand them, try to on our own, realize that we can't, and get down from that. That's where the amazing gift of trusting in God's will comes in. When we trust in His will, we are content with not comprehending everything about life, because we know and trust that regardless of what "curveballs" we are thrown in life, we will get through them because every action is part of the plan. Trusting in God has a lot to do with humbling yourself. We have to humbly accept that we don't know everything, and that we shouldn't waste our precious time on earth doing so. It's hard for our prideful human selves to surrender such a thing as trusting in something we've never seen. But, when you get to that point in your faith life when you can, it lets you approach any situation without fear. Even death. Especially death. But, that is another topic for another day.

"Let nothing trouble you, let nothing frighten you, everything passes, God never changes, God is enough!"
~St. Theresa of Jesus
