Trust Fall

      Have you ever done a trust fall? A trust fall is when you fall backward and a person behind should catch you. Sounds hard right? Especially if you don't know the person at your back.
      I remember, one time, in our Sunday school,our teachers asked our class to do a trust fall as part of our games. Excited with this activity, I quickly partnered with my brother, whom I thought was the most trusted person I knew besides my parents. When our teachers instructed us to fall. Lo and behold! I fell... going forward instead of backward! And my brother didn't even try to catch me! Instead, he pushed me! I was a bit hurt after the game, but I did not take it against my brother. What I learn from the activity was, giving our trust to God is like the game "trust fall". But, unlike people, God is different. God can be trusted. He will not allow us to fall and be hurt. Like in trust fall, we don't know what will happen once we let go but rest assured we can trust God to catch us when we fall.

Prayer
Lord,
      Help me trust you more, even if sometimes, the things in my life don't go as I expected them to be. Help me to hold on to your promises that you will never leave me nor forsake me. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Proverbs 3:5-6
