We may sometimes try to "help" or "advise" God regarding what should happen in our lives. We pursue OUR will and ask him to bless OUR plans. We then get frustrated when God works out HIS will instead of ours.

The wiser (Biblical) way is to

• trust God completely (he really does know better than us!) and
• seek his will and submit to his ways.

 Sometimes God's will may offend us or even frighten us; we need to trust that he sees and understands what we can't.

His plans are perfect!
