Hard Trusting Him

Well, everyone here but me is asleep. Renske fell asleep about a half an hour ago and that left me to do whatever I wanted. Yesterday, while at Hershey Park, I was thinking. We trust that these roller coasters are safe for us to ride. We put our trust in those who are in charge of running them. Last night, we wanted to get on this one ride one last time. While in line, they made the announcement that they were having technical difficulties and were temporarily closed. Um...that doesn't sound safe to me! Within 15 minutes they reopened the ride. I turned to one of my friends and told her that this wasn't very comforting knowing that there still may be something wrong! 15 minutes is not a very long time! Also, those things that strap you in, how can we really trust them? My question is, how can we trust people we dont even know, and how can we trust in a ride that could end our lives, but yet we can not trust in God? There is nothing that says that God is going to hurt us, but yet we trust something that says that this park is not liable for any deaths or injuries!? I really couldn't comprehend this today. The sad thing is, I am speaking to myself! If we would just put our lives in the hands of God and let Him have complete control, things would be okay! He isn't going to hurt us! His plans are for us to prosper, not to be hurt! If we would trust God like we trusted a roller coaster, our faith would be large! Think of how much our relationship with Him would improve. Trusting in Him would draw us closer to Him!
