Baby Faith

When I grow up, I want to have faith like my nine month old son. He knows he is going to be fed. He believes that if he reaches out for me that I won't let him fall. He knows that if I hear his cry, that I will be by his side. I guess we're born with that kind of faith. We don't know anything else. Maybe as we get older, people start letting us down, so we, in some way, think God is letting us down. I want to remember the kind of anxious free faith that children have. The kind of faith that doesn't second guess. The kind of faith that doesn't worry over my budget, or my children, my marriage or my job. I know that God always takes cares of my needs because every day I've lived is an example of that. My goal is to not have to look back so often to see where he's brought me. Here's to taking a few baby steps. 

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 

in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.  

Lord, thank you for what you've always taken care of. Thank you for your protection. Thank you for providing. Forgive me for forgetting. Please help me to remember that true peace and true freedom from anxiety, comes from truly believing in you.
