I was just thinking about this recently! I noticed the ever present anxiety lifted and also there were things coming at me that normally would cause me to worry or send me to my knees before the Lord, but none of my usual reactions were happening because my trust in Him has strengthened. It felt so unusual and strange to be so calm that I kept checking myself, thinking— is this truly “resting in the Lord” or have I just shut myself down to the level of indifference? The truth is, it’s mostly the former and a smidge of the latter because trusting Him means I cease trying to figure everything out on my own and by default that can FEEL like indifference.
Thank you! It makes sense that in His mercy He would give us a sliding scale between indifference and trust, and help us work our way to the right end of it. 😁
Unerringly accurate, seasoned with salt, making this perennial struggle a gentle and uplifting read.
Thank you, Terry!
