"The righteous shall live by faith." You don't put your trust in Him in order to advance your own plans. You trust Him in order to advance His plans, whatever they may be. This isn't really what I've been doing. I have my agenda, and I pray that He will make it happen.
Frankly, you can't blame me for that. I have no idea what God's plans are. I can only work with my own ideas. So I go ahead with my plans. The trick is to find contentment and peace in God, even when my plans don't appear to be coming to fruition.
He hears my prayers. He knows what I want. (Sara, writing work, marriage, etc.) Now all I have to do is chill out and...
Trust and obey. That's being Lee's helper, raising my children with love and good teaching, using my professional skills in a way that advances God's principles, if not Him himself.
