After graduating college, I had a car that broke down with too many issues worth the cost of repairs. Still in need of a new car, and now lacking the funds to meet that need, I attempted to solve the problem by listing the vehicle for sale “as is” while disclosing the damages. I hoped a mechanic could fix it or perhaps strip it for parts. But my efforts didn’t yield results.
I let go of the idea that the answer needed to be figured out humanly.
I began to feel pressured about the issue, so I prayed for a solution. I let go of the idea that the answer needed to be figured out humanly. The Bible tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5, 6). In essence, my task was to simply get out of God’s way and allow the evidence of His goodness to be revealed. I dropped all concern and let God’s allness fill my thought. A number of disconcerting worries arose, but I stayed the course.
