In some situations our trust in the Lord may be tentative or partial.  We may find it harder to trust God with some matters than with others.  Yet, we know that we are to trust the Lord with everything and at all times.  Fear keeps us from trust.  Failure to let go hampers reliance.  Prayer is the way we reaffirm confidence and recommit.  It is the place we deal with our fears.  It is the place we go to surrender every situation to our trustworthy Abba.

“Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me.  My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.  When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.” Ps 56:1-3 (NASB)
