Trusting

You ask how you learn to trust Him?
Dear child, you must just let go!
Let go of your frantic worry,
And the fears which plague you so;

Let go of each black tomorrow,
Which you try to live today;
Let go of your fevered planning,
He knoweth all your way.

Fear not lest your slipping fingers
Let go of your Savior too, --
Trusting is only knowing
He’ll not let go of you!

Martha Snell Nicholson

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

John 10:28-29 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck
them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me,
is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck
them out of my Father's hand.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
