Trust in the Lord

"The simple secret is: put your trust in the Lord, do your best, then leave the rest to him."

-Joseph B. Wirthlin

I love this quote and I come back to it often because it bring great comfort to me. When we are having hard, stressful, difficult, or worried times all we have to do it go to the Lord. If we go to him with a humble heart and ask him to help us, as long as we try our best, He will be there making it happen if it is in His will for us.

I know from experiences in my own life that this is true. This year in school I am taking AP United States History and for the class I needed to do a debate. It was me one other person for 40 minutes debating in front of the class. I was really worried about this because I wanted to do well, but public speaking is not one of my specialties. So after I had tried my best with researching and studying, I went to the Lord and asked Him to help me to not be worried and to help me do my best and it worked. The day of my debate, I was nervous, but I had no last minute doubts or concerns. I did my debate and everything went as well as expected. I did not win, but I went in with the attitude that I did my absolute best and that's all that mattered. The Lord made up for those moments when I did not know what to say and He gave me the comfort throughout the day and the days leading up to it when I was nervous or worried.

I know that if you go to the Lord, He will help you with anything that you need, be it school, church, work or anything else. He wants to help us and is willing to, we just need to make sure that we do our part first and He will never let us down.
