Learn to wait on God, even when life seems unfair.

Why is this so hard for me? Why is it so hard for all of us?
We don't have the option as to whether or not we want to wait.
Because it's all up to God. God is in control of every aspect of our very
being, whether we choose to accept that as fact or not. He has perfect
timing for all things, which makes me feel just a tad bit better over just
about everything going on in my life. Although I say I know He's in control,
I tend to neglect that fact more than just often. In fact, its practically all
the time. For me, I worry and fret over so much, its bordering ridiculous.
Take today for example: I have to drive myself home from Morristown at
night in a thunderstorm. Not such a big deal.. aside from the fact that
driving on the highway makes me extremely nervous! My panic level had
seemingly sky-rocketed by the time I turned the ignition on in the car.
Point being, I wasn't concerned with God at all in that moment. I was focused
on plainly keeping my life safe on my excursion home. But it did hit me, because
after turning the car on, I realized that my safety was, yes, up partially to my
driving skill(z), but it was also in the hands of God. He is in control. simple.

I kind of realize after writing all this that it probably was not the best
example of "waiting" on God.. but it does show that our lives are not ours, and
most of us (myself included) need to just give our worries to Him. Why worry
so much about what's to happen, when we really have no control over it? God
will let you know what's going to happen when it does.
