Beloved,
One of my dear friends recently shared how difficult it is to trust You, especially in times of transition. This one does believe that things will work out and has experienced your faithfulness and provision on several occasions and yet still finds it difficult to trust. This friend is not alone. Countless others have conversed with me about the difficulty they have trusting You. For many, it's easier to not believe that You exist at all than it is to examine what it means when we use the phrase, "God is good".
Like my friend and countless others, I, too, have difficulty trusting You. It is hard to admit that at the end of my seminary studies I may be no closer to comprehension or faith or trust than I was at the beginning.
Something, however, has shifted. This time of study, of fellowship, of exploration of Your Community -- it has shifted my perspective. As of yet, I cannot articulate how.
