Most of us tend to pray when things seem to get out of control. We pray when we notice we need God’s help because we can’t seem to do things independently. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great time to pray, but why do we wait until things are out of our own control?

Growing up, I struggled to trust in a God I did not really know. I trusted in my own power and the influence of my friends. I worried about what they would think above what God would think and it left me anxious and fearful.
