Why?

I have a few things to get off of my chest so I apologize in advance. Sometimes I'm no sure what God is trying to tell me. Things go wrong, I ask questions. I know I need to trust God. A lot of people try to do things for themselves and not rely on God. Myself included. Things have seemed to not been going the way I would like recently and so I've been asking "why" over and over again. Why do people I love have to pass away? Why do my friends leave me and disappoint me? Why do the people I love decide I'm not quite lovable enough? I ask God all of these things but, guess what He says? Trust Me. It's hard to trust Him with everything in my life. Especially when I try my hardest to fix everything and yet everything STILL goes wrong. But God still says "trust me."

Proverbs 5:3 says "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." God wants us to trust Him and not rely on ourselves to solve all of our problems. He knows what to do. He knows everything. All we can do is hope to fix everything but, God has the power to do whatever He wants. He will do what is best for us and we will be tested and in the end, we will be stronger. God has everything under control, guys. So just trust Him.
