Part 1 of this lesson begins here, if you missed it.
When there is a problem and things are going rough, it’s so easy for me to jump in and try to “figure it out” for the Lord! But His ways are so much higher, and I have learned that I must trust Him, rather than getting in His way. Sometimes I simply fret and worry, instead of enjoying the peace of knowing He will work it all out.
