We all have heard that we need to trust the process. Take a deep breath and trust, pray, have faith. But it is so hard to do. Because we get impatient, at least I know I do. It is also hard to admit that we do not have any control over certain things, no matter how hard we try. And that is incredibly scary and hard.
Why is it so hard for us to admit that sometimes we have no control? I think that maybe it is because that also means admitting that we are vulnerable, in our human condition. That we are dependent on others and on situations. And no matter how much money or freedom we have, this is the truth. We are all dependent on if that person takes a chance and gives us that job, or that opportunity, or that place, or that apartment, or that relationship, or that whatever. We are, to some extent, at the mercy of others for many situations in our lives, even if we are master negotiators, or experts in our field.
And trusting the process makes us keenly aware of this uncomfortable fact. But the truth is that no one ever accomplished anything spectacular without first taking the risk of being uncomfortable. And everything we want is on the other side of fear.
And this is where I am. I have stepped out of my comfort zone and am trusting the process. Ohm but it is so hard. I do what I can to make sure that I succeed, but outside of doing the best that I can, it is largely out of my control. Many things have moved over the last few weeks, and God will place you where He wants you to be. And so I wait, and trust, and pray and have faith.
Life would be much easier if we had a crystal ball that told us that things work out. But we already know that they will, don’t we? Even if life doesn’t always end up like we want them, or like we thought they would, it all usually works out. And things are currently lining up in a more spectacular way than I ever thought possible. But but is still rather scary and uncomfortable. And who knows how or where it will all line up.
Life is short. And we, in our human condition, have a hard time letting go and having faith. That is the challenge. Because we don’t like being uncomfortable, but it is worth it. Because all that stress and worry only erodes our quality of life. So breath and trust. And let go of control. and know, everything you want is on the other side of comfort and fear. Take the risk for something spectacular.
