– C.S. Lewis
It’s easy to trust that everything will work out when it looks like everything is working out; it’s a whole other matter to trust that all is and will be well when all around us there is chaos, suffering, pain, challenge, loss and difficulty. When I find myself struggling, I remember that I can choose which I will align with in any moment – fear or faith – and that whatever I choose will determine how I feel. When I choose to trust that everything happens for a good reason and that everything will be okay, the whole world looks brighter and my load instantly feels lighter. This approach may not change the outcome to one that I personally think would be ideal, but it definitely helps me glide over the rough terrain I encounter.
