Trusting God Through Each Day

By Phillips Brooks

WHAT a vast portion of our lives is spent in anxious and useless foreboding concerning the future, either our own or that of our dear ones! Present joys, present blessings, slip by, and we miss half of their sweet flavor, and all for want of faith in Him who provides for the tiniest insect in the sunbeam. O, when shall we learn the sweet trust in God that our little children teach us every day by their confiding faith in us! — we who are so mutable, so faulty, so irritable, so unjust; and he who is so watchful, so pitiful, so loving, so forgiving! Why can not we, slipping our hand into his each day, walk trustingly over that day’s appointed path, thorny or flowery, crooked or straight, knowing that evening will bring us sleep, peace and home? — Phillips Brooks.
