Trust in God

Toni Tartoué Wengler

Making decisions is not always easy. As children, we are helped by our parents and other adults. As young adults, though, we may listen to the advice of friends and family and still not find the answer that feels right. When it comes time for us to begin making our own decisions, how do we know what is truly right for us? We may yearn for someone to turn to for help, support, and encouragement, someone with the perfect answer. Whom can we trust?

We can trust God! And the right answer always comes clear when we turn to Him, seeking His will.

As a child, I was greatly impressed by a painting of a father and daughter standing in an elevator. It was the child's first ride, and her small hand was securely clasped around the father's little finger, as if to say, "If I hold on tight, nothing will go wrong." Her trust in her father's care was a reminder to me of my inseparable relation to the one, omnipotent, omnipresent God, the true Father of us all.
