This is from the daily reflections I received today from Dynamic Catholic. Man, does it speak to most of us here....

I've never doubted that God has plans for us, but knowing that God has plans for me and knowing what those plans are, are completely different things. God really hung in there with me during the divorce. I was so afraid all of the time, not knowing what was gonna happen next or what the future would be. And that fear started impacting all aspects of my life. I prayed to God all the time about it. He gave me a pretty good talking to, and in my heart, he said, “If you're living in fear, you really don't trust that I've got this—that I've got you. You have to give it over to me, because if you keep digging in your heels and holding on to that control, you're going to continue to be scared and afraid.” So I let go of all of the hurt and the loss and the anger. And slowly, I started to feel joy again. The joy in such a tough situation is how I knew that I was trusting God—trusting in his plans. What about you? When has it been difficult to see God's plans for you?
